Check out http://www.hobbyspace.com/Links/RLVNews.html or http://www.arcaspace.ro/en/home.htm<br /><br />They design looks awesome. What do you guys think?

I don't see much detail on the captive portion of the flight. They only say the rocket will be carried aloft by either aircraft or helicopter. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

I do like the detachable jet engines idea. However, I am concern about the tail first re-entry. Wouldn't that damage the engine?

 

[DuhFly]

Shameless bump. <br />Cmon guys. I can't be the only person excited about this.

air-launched<br />detached jet engines<br />variable swept wings<br />backwards descent<br />parachute landing<br /><br />Uh, could they possibly make it any more complex than that? Didn't read the pdfs, is the vehicle in pictures a mock-up or real flight item?

The vehicle in the picture is mockup. The real time will have the detachable jet engine attached to it. <br />I hope the real one is bigger too because it is suppose to carry two persons. pilot and passanger.
