ABOUT THE DESIGN:    ABOUT THE MODEL:
As the Apollo moon program was winding down, NASA's attention turned toward the next phase in its manned space agenda: the development of a reusable "space truck" that could ferry men and material into low orbit quickly and cheaply.

Various designs and configurations were proposed and evaluated.  All had their strengths and weaknesses.  In 1972, North American Rockwell -- one of America's top aerospace contractors -- asked  engineer Harry Scott to develop a design that would minimize the propose craft's length without sacrificing cargo space.  His solution was to turn the cargo bay sideways, resulting in this unique "flying breadbox" concept.

Although theoretically practical, North American Rockwell's Shuttle Concept C-1057 never developed beyond the proposal stage.
