If someone can help with BoP 3-view, I'd be very obliged. Seems to have been in Flight International. Thanks!

Early UK concept and French concept.

A number of SES concpts were proposed in the 1990's - France built a demonstrator, so did Germany, and of course Norway put a minecounter measures boat and FAC into production and sweden developed an experimental stealth SES.

Here is FAS link from 1997: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/docs/cvx-alt/index.html As you can see, the drawings survive but the NAVSEA reports are long offline. Were there any public documents that gave specifications for the design studies?

The SERJ could work as a ramjet and a scramjet right? (It's been awhile since I read and responded to this post -- weird though, I normally have a photographic memory) Wow, that's such a simple strategy though. Start small test, if works go bigger, if works go bigger yet, if that works and...
