Type certificate
This aircraft is rumored on the internet to have been the first jet that was not an airliner to receive a transport-category type certificate from the FAA, but I have been unable to find a verifiable published source for this fact. Also, I would love to see the type certificate data sheet for this aircraft, but it doesn't show up in the FAA TCDS database, presumably because the TC was surrendered by MDD or Boeing because they had no interest in helping anyone restore the prototype to flying condition (and I can't say I would blame them). I presume the TCDS is buried in an archive at the FAA or the Library of Congress. I would appreciate any help hunting down these documents. Carguychris (talk) 18:58, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Removed incorrect 'fact'
The current version (28 March 2023) states the vertical fin has 45 degrees sweepback. This is correct in one sense (that is the sweepback angle of the leading edge) but incorrect in aircraft-design usage, since "sweepback" is always quoted at the quarter-chordline; on this vertical fin the quarter-chord is closer to 35 degrees of sweep.
