    A20 from Arthur C.Clarke short story "Inheritance"

    I've always liked this story, which has a few design details in it about the (fictitious) two-stage rocket A20. I've always imagined it as being rather like an R.A.Smith-style "son of V2" with a retractable wing upper stage. Fired up by "The Spaceship Handbook", I'd like to try drawing this...

    Reaction Engines SABRE engine (Skylon Spaceplane)

    I've seen the Reaction Engines Ltd Skylon spaceplane mentioned a few times already but I think it deserves it's own thread. It looks cool and will only cost £10 billion(ish) to develop, so if it wasn't designed in Great Britain 'the land of lost opportunties' it would probably get built ;) It...

    The lifting body program was one of the highlight of the NASA in the 60's. Various machines flew (HL-10, X-24, M2F series) This program only consisted of atmospheric tests...well, that's the "offcial" version But there's two mysteries - 1 Aparently, modified HL-10 were send into suborbital...
