Given the Northrop designation NS-12, the three gliders were also given project numbers from the USAAF. Confusingly, two project numbers were used, one <b>MX-324</b> when discussing secret aspects of the powered gliders, and another, <b>MX-334</b>, relating to the aircraft when being built and flown as pure gliders.<sup id="cite_ref-Campbell_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Campbell-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The MX-334 was a flying wing glider with no tail surfaces, similar in layout and construction to the <a href="/wiki/Northrop_N-9M" title="Northrop N-9M">Northrop N-9M</a>. Completed in late Spring 1943, MX-334 No.1 was tested in NACA Langley's wind tunnel, after which a large wire-braced fin was added for directional stability at high speeds. The first flight attempts were carried out by the no.2 aircraft towed behind a <a href="/wiki/Cadillac" title="Cadillac">Cadillac</a> car for low level take-off and landing tests, with no success. After modifications the first launch was carried out on 4 September 1943, towed behind a large truck. For more comprehensive testing, a <a href="/wiki/Lockheed_P-38_Lightning" title="Lockheed P-38 Lightning">Lockheed P-38 Lightning</a> was used to tow the aircraft on 2 October 1943. </p><p>In early 1944 the no.2 aircraft was modified to take the 2,009 lbf (8,940 N) <a href="/w/index.php?title=Aerojet_XCAL-200&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Aerojet XCAL-200 (page does not exist)">Aerojet XCAL-200</a> rocket motor, and reverted to the secret MX-324 designation. Testing with the rocket motor commenced on 22 June 1944, with the first aerotow launch for a powered flight on 5 July 1944, making it the first US-built rocket-powered aircraft to fly.<sup id="cite_ref-Winchester_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Winchester-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Flight testing was concluded by 1 August 1944 and the two remaining aircraft were disposed of.
