    Aerospace art request

    Isinglass! But I wonder if there's enough information for drawing... This thread recently included new material: http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,382.msg140326.html#msg140326

    Project ISINGLASS & Project RHEINBERRY

    ...with the Project RHEINBERRY design effort. CIA contract No. NA-2000 to General Dynamics (Convair was a division of GD at this time) for an ISINGLASS type program (possibly a predecessor program or one that was congruent at the time of ISINGLASS (document dated 1964). This contract was for a...

    Crecy plans for forthcoming revised editions of Secret Projects series books

    ...I think needs mentioning. Probably one of the bigger updates, I think, would be the the information we dug up four years ago on Project ISINGLASS. The last edition offered up images of the IGV and other McDonnell hypersonics as speculation on ISINGLASS. But we now we know the actual...

    Project ISINGLASS & Project RHEINBERRY

    If you look at the date on the top of that document, it was declassified in 2011. I've had that and a bunch of other ISINGLASS documents since then (well, probably 2012) and have written some articles about them. I think some of the articles are linked elsewhere in this thread. (If you look at...

    Project ISINGLASS & Project RHEINBERRY

    Actually, that need not be too big of a problem. The only places to put the ISINGLASS on a B-52 are on top (unlikely), under a wing root like the X-15, or in a heavily modified bomb bay (maybe). Putting it under a wing root seems most likely . But evena beast like the ISINGLASS wouldn;t put...

    Secret Projects: Military Space Technology by Bill Rose

    Andreas, from your point of you, does the book has any really *exciting* stuff - apart of Isinglass drawings (which is real attractive for me in the case)?

    Project ISINGLASS & Project RHEINBERRY

    One question about Isinglass still puzzles me: The engine seems huge for an air-launched vehicle. Mulready's book gives a loaded weight of 132,000 pounds, but that seems pretty massive even for a B-52, particularly asymmetrically carried, and still won't allow a lot of burn time on a 250K...

    Project ISINGLASS & Project RHEINBERRY

    Attached: a whole lot of CIA documents, related to ISINGLASS. Just in case the links are taken down. Nothing new, the docs have been discussed earlier in this thread.

    Project ISINGLASS & Project RHEINBERRY

    Slightly off-topic... one little question that's been bugging me for months: How do you pronounce ISINGLASS? Is it like "is in glass" [izinglas] or "I sing lass" [aisinglas]?

    Project ISINGLASS & Project RHEINBERRY

    ...AF contract number mentioned, "F04611-68-C-0002", can give you some very interesting search results. Across the speed and altitude range an ISINGLASS vehicle would be boosting through the nozzle would be very efficient, though wether it's efficient enough to justify the added complexity and...

    Project ISINGLASS & Project RHEINBERRY

    ...one undated document that indicates that RHEINBERRY was a McD proposal for an air-launched boost-glide system that had much promise, and ISINGLASS was a canceled GD program. See earlier confusion in this thread (and on Wiki) about whether or not ISINGLASS was a GD program or McD. Now the...

    Jay Miller's archive, again

    bummer :-[ One of these days we'll hear the whole story, MAYBE. PS- What i'd really love to see get de-classed is Project ISINGLASS. I'm sure there's something interesting there.

    Project ISINGLASS & Project RHEINBERRY

    ...served as guidelines for R&D investments in the 1965-1975 period. Project Forecast was a technology push and as such necessarily impacted positively projects such as ISINGLASS. Especially after the demise of Aerospaceplane. More on project Forecast here: http://history.nasa.gov/HHR-32/ch12.htm

    Project ISINGLASS & Project RHEINBERRY

    I suspect that ISINGLASS' demise had more to do with the retirement of General Bernard Schriever. Technical challenges may also have hurt it, but Schriever was apparently the program's patron on the USAF side.

    Project ISINGLASS & Project RHEINBERRY

    So...it's been a year since we got our first decent look at ISINGLASS. I'm guessing that's all we're getting for now. However, has anything at all similar been released on RHEINBERRY?

    Sorry for the delay in posting this document. This is the first 10 pages of the 52 page document entitled Summary Review of ISINGLASS Program. I will post the other pages shortly.

    Don't know if anybody has seen this before but the CIA just put up some ISINGLASS docs in the last two weeks.

    US Next Generation Bomber Studies

    What is the vehicle on the first page? Just an example of hypersonic strike? It looks like it would be more at home on the Isinglass thread than in this kind of article.
