    That is AMAZING
    Rumors of my demise by rollover have been greatly exaggerated.

      I built some tooling about 10 years ago for one of the early iterations of this scramjet project - nothing important, part of the launching hardware.
      It's been interesting to follow the progress of this aircraft, and I hope the results pay off for "real world" aviation down the road.

            Hmmm...

            How long will it be before someone bolts some wheels on that thing and shows up at Bonneville or Maxton?

            ;D

            It's really no different than trying to glue them back on after she has her way.
