    SpaceX Falcon Heavy

    Look at that. In what, FOUR posts it's already been forgotten that "getting operational" isn't the metric. That's the part to remember. A test flight with ballast or a flight with a commercial payload doesn't cut it. (Though we all know 99% of those who even remember the claim will forget...

    HOTOL: Britain's Spaceplane by Dan Sharp

    While unfortunately there isn't an overall cutaway quite as detailed as that one, there's still an absolute boatload of original technical diagrams of all the HOTOL configurations and some of the other British SSTO and air-launched spaceplane designs of the period. Again, not wanting to spoil...

    Hitler orders advanced intercontinental bomber projects into production to carry on his war plan for attacking Manhattan

    You’re correct about the historical dates for Tabun but had such a plan been an absolute national priory it just might have happened earlier. Ok I’ll throw another one in, maybe such an attack was an escalation in response to an Allied first use on the battlefield. There were calls at various...

    Re: Royal Navy Amphibious shipping in the 1960s

    ...version would require a considerably more powerful engine, in the region of 20,000lb +to match the performance expected from the rocket version. A single Avon just does not cut the mustard in this regard and the only viable option looks like the RB.106 or something much larger like a Gyron.

    1980's European space plane

    None of the 1992 era concepts made a lot of technical sense. Even as a 10 year old I already smelled something was amiss. I started to dip my toe and whack my brain into RLV concepts. Even if the lack of Internet did not helped. Orion Express and HOTOL and Saenger were pipe dreams, Hermes was...

    What if Iran never had a revolution?

    ...and having been a long-term US fighter user, the Iranian AF may have pushed to keep buying US. Mirage F-1s might not quite have cut the mustard, though the Mirage 2000 would have been tempting and maybe the 4000 if there are enough petrochemical dollars available. You have to remember, the...

    SpaceX Falcon Heavy

    A Space Test Program payload qualifies as a national security payload. It actually won't be that hard. ULA knows how to fly national security payloads and to get certification of their vehicles.

    Lycoming R-7755 Powered Aircraft?

    ...big aircraft were beginning to move along at 300-350 mph so something like the H-4 doodling along at 250 mph just wasn't going to cut the mustard. The H-4 was very nearly as long as a 747, and was/is as deep in the fuselage as an A380, and the early 747 were powered by four 50,000 lbt...

    A WW2 fighter design for rugged areas

    That was sort of in my mind too; maybe need some AH variant that uses water injection as specified to get to similar boost levels as 100oct without (ish) From going through the specified engines then I'm pretty sure Merlin offers the best power to mass / size and so this gives us more margin in...
