On June 8, 1936, five X-36 planes took off from Maine to England. The group was part of a campaign launched to support allied(同盟的)aircraft numbers in Europe to fight the German Nazis. Nearly 700 aircraft successfully went through this secret flying route, "Snowball Route", stopping to refuel in secret airbases located in Greenland. However, the five X-36 aircraft met with a severe storm that misdirected the crew and forced them to burn precious fuel. The aircraft were forced to crash land on the ice cap of the Arctic and all were buried under ice later.
70 years later eight engineers seeking the remains of the X-36 aircraft discovered an object in the shape of a plane buried within the ice cap. They used radar to look into the ice. To confirm the object located by the radar was an X-36 plane, they used a thermal probe(热探针)to cut a hole through the ice to a depth of 350 feet. Upon bringing it back, they found something red covering the probe that later proved to be a kind of liquid used in this type of aircraft.
Plans are underway to free the lost X-36 from the ice and, if possible, rebuild it so it can once again take flight. It may be the second time that an X-36 has been reborn from the ice. In 1995, the resting place of an X-36 was found by members of the Greenland Expedition Team. They then cut a cave around it. Over the course of several months, the plane was dissembled. Although it took a long time to finish the job, it was much easier to handle the separated parts. Thus, the aircraft was eventually brought back to the surface. Then much repair work made the X-36 fly again.
The resting site of the newly discovered X-36 plane presents another opportunity to bring back a piece of history. Thanks to the great funding support from the governments of the US, Greenland and the UK, it's a project that could begin next summer.
