Thanks for the info on the magnetic runway. I haven't heard of that before. I had just thought that was a fancy backdrop on the model!Yeah, when I first saw the model, I thought it must not be maneuvering much because the vortex off of the LERX will be heading right down the inlet at small AOA, unless they were thinking that that vortex isn't too strong until it's at High AOA, in which case the main part of the vortex is above and outside the inlet. However, it would still change the airflow at the face of the inlet and it would be downward towards the fuselage. So maybe they were thinking the vortices would "feed" the inlets at high AOA. Either way, it's still a risky design, IMHO.It looks very cool, though.
