The correct answer for the final question in the series is is the North American XF-108 Rapier. This aircraft was intended to be a high speed, long range interceptor to defend the U.S. and Canada from Soviet bombers. Each crewman had an escape capsule designed to completely enclose them in the event of emergency, permitting safe ejection even at extreme speeds and altitudes. Had it been built, it would have been a true Mach 3 aircraft.
The correct answer was submitted by skybolt2003, jeaton, hudskit, heaterengineer and roadkill_75.
The final standings for Series #4 are: skybolt2003 is 1st with a perfect score of 10, hudskit is 2nd with 9, jeaton is 3rd with 8, and heater engineer is 4th with 5 correct.
