What on Earth is this?

I've never seen this design before, but it has to be one of the coolest looking vehicles I've ever seen! <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />http://www.axeman3d.com/thumbnails/x33.jpg

Looks like someone's played a little with a VentureStar. Note the X-33 tag on the URL.<br /><br />I did see a manned VentureStar image (it was simply one as the VentureStar was going to be unmanned). Didn't look as sexy as this.

Obviously, it's a lifting body. Not enough wing area to lift anything. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Would be enough in water. It would make one heck of powerboat!

You havent played enough space-sims then. Kilrathi ships are much cooler and armed too <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> and belong as much in fantasy-land as this one.<br /><br />

That is what I'm thinking...

It has way to many large windows for my liking - almost like someone was actually going to try and <i>fly</i> it.

X-33 OTV by The Axeman...<br /><br />"I made this for a guys movie, but subsequently lost his address to a virus attack and he's never been back in touch for ages. If you read this, here's the model you requested."<br /><br /> It's based on the shuttle seen in the opening credits of Enterprise, with touches of the X-33 design from NASA.<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="4">Dave..</font> </div>

that WOULD explain why it looks like something from enterprise, then, wouldn't it? <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" />

nose is too sharp. On reentry,that baby will have oblique shockwaves dancing on those windows and nreaking everything. Still, looks pretty cool. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>
