Hi Everyone! I'm looking for information (3-views, artists conceptions, etc.) of a certain aircraft design I recall seeing in Aviation Week in the late 70's to early 80's. I believe it was a design for an ICBM (MX) airborne launcher. It was a large, propeller-driven aircraft, with a wingspan...

My biggest question regarding the Lockheed Suntan program is why they bothered investigating hydrogen turbojets in the first place. The best advantage I can think of was the ability to achieve the desired speed and range with an airframe that was much lighter than anything else in its size...

I finally got the microfilm in the mail of all four volumes of this study; and had them scanned by a local company. First up, the magnificient maidien known as the Valkyrie: Reading further; North American was very dead set against Active Defense in any form for the B-70; which isn't that...

Some time ago, one of the threads on here delved into the topic of the XB-70 used as a recoverable booster (a.k.a.-the RBSS) On that thread a link provides has an image of the XB-70 RBSS: http://www.strange-mecha.com/aircraft/Prototype/USAF-PB1.htm So a few weeks ago I see Valkyrie, by Dennis...

I am looking for information on Project Orion/Daedalus[British name for roughly the same thing] this was an early nuclear powered spacecraft that used focused nuclear explosions for thrust.

I hadn't seen this posted here before and so I thought I'd post it for the benefit of anyone who hadn't seen it before. Volume I Volume II Volume III Volume IV Not having the benefit of an education in aerospace, what is the meaning of the V Limit Design and V Max Design lines on the first...

Quite a little known fact that in order to save money and meantime to demonstrate its proposal to Air Force Source Selection Board members, NAR has built full-scale B-1A '2D Mockup' (with a significant use of Kodak equipment). Mock-up was completed just in 3 days. Source: Kodak Studio Light...

Busily working away on the next issue of Aerospace Projects Review, with the main article being on the 10-meter baseline Orion designs for the USAF and NASA. Part of the article deals with some suggested military roles for the smaller sized Orions, including ground-based command and control...

0011 is only part of a page for an advert for Boron fuel (pure fantasy then I reckon). I have the whole ad in "All American Ads of the 60's (or 50's!)" but that book is buried deep in a cupboard at the moment. Regards, Barry ps I think they are overflying a Boron facility!

BSP4 mentions proposals for air-launched versions of the Polaris and Pershing missiles for use on RAF Vulcans, does anyone have any performance estimates for these and how would they have compared to Skybolt?
