We’re bringing back the concord!
I have been following what this team has been doing for a while. Great to see the advancements are still ticking along.
Virgin are working on a system where a high altitude aircraft will deploy a rocket, and a similar system was developed using an F-14 as a launch vehicle.
I’m not away of a single stage system doing this before now though.
@Fizz Nazis had rocket planes 80 years ago.
Which plane? I don’t remember them making rocket planes to fly to space.
@Fizz No but they made a rocket plane. Fighter.
Heh, it was barely a plane though - basically wings on a rocket, very little fly time & wasn’t landing it so problematic that more often than not it crashed or the pilot bailed?
@TagMeInSkipIGotThis Sure, but 80 years ago… How much did it take from Orwille brothers to Sputnik? 40-50 years?
