Lockheed Hypersonic Fighter

[hesham]

Hi,


here is a Lockheed project for spacecraft can launched from the sea to starts or planets,
but I don't know if it was a real design or just a hypothetical one ?.

Highly interesting find hesham, do you know if the Lockheed hypersonic plane had a official internal designation?

Sorry FighterJock,

While the advertisement makes it clear that it's a fighter, I have a three-view diagram of the same configuration clearly marked as an SST. It's a CL- design (should be able to find it in a few days).

Rings a bell to me. Wasn't it associated with AeoSpacePlane?
I hope I'm right.

My dear Blackkite,

I think it was not a fighter.

Ummm......Perhaps you are right.
