Some Reading For A Lousy Day

I'm off today, it's nasty outside, and I was bored. So here you go. These were too big to load as attachments so I give you the links.

2007 AF brief on Hypersonics:

A Boeing Advanced Systems presentation for Farnborough 2008. Good stuff featured like the FA-XX, 2018 Bomber, and so on. :

Enjoy!

Re: Some Briefs

Its interesting that the hypersonics brief show a lot of "mothership" configurations. Yet the "blackstar" system has been debunked pretty vigorously around here.

Maybe its not an orbiter, but a hypersonic "something else"?

Re: Some Briefs

Those are just generic concepts. Perhaps there is at least some learning from the NASP fiasco, not trying to use a single stage air breather all the way to orbit - instead have a small pure rocket stage carried by the large air breather first stage.

Military Spaceplane brief from 1999: http://cobweb.ecn.purdue.edu/~aae450s/fall03/osp-msp/verderame-msp-1999-phillips.pdf

For some reason, it's not letting me do a copy and paste of the link from where I'm at. So........

Open the link below, go down to the link titled "verdamme-msp-1999", and voila!

The Verdamme presentation has illustrations of DC-X and X-33 style concepts for the MSP. Also featured are the X-37/X-40.
The link also has various papers reagrding the topic as well Verdamme's presentation.

THAT link worked, thanks. I couldn't get the other one to open for some reason.

I do apologize. When the desert winds pick up out here, it does weird things to my Internet connection, plus I'm on a POS brand computer at the moment. Thanks to MZ for fixing that last one.
