Summary

This is a model of unknown scale of the Condor, a U.S. Navy air-launched anti-ship missile. Developed by Rockwell beginning in 1962, the missile had a maximum speed of Mach 2.9, a range of 68 miles, and a 630 lb conventional warhead. Although the Condor was tested extensively, the program was cancelled in 1976 and it was never deployed with the fleet. John and Cynthia Heyde donated this model to NASM on an unknown date.
