Re: X-51 Waverider Makes Historic Ramjet-Powered Hypersonic Flight
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.Act your age, not your shoe size. - Prince

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