The Air Force returned the X-24A to the Martin Marietta Corporation — as Martin Aircraft Company became after a merger — for modifications that converted its bulbous shape into one resembling a "flying flatiron", i.e., rounded top, flat bottom, and a double delta platform that ended in a pointed nose.

In addition to the main Thiokol XLR11-RM-13 engine, the X-24B was powered by two 500 lb. th. hydrogen peroxide rockets.
