Menasco is to supply the nose and main landing gear for the Lockheed Martin X-33 reusable-launch-vehicle technology-demonstrator and the planned VentureStar operational single-stage-to-orbit launcher. The Charlotte, North Carolina-based company will deliver two shipsets of demonstrator gear to system-integrator AlliedSignal in 1998. The first flight of the X-33 is due in March 1999.
