More stuff on that big Mach 5 methane powered beast.  And the Mach 5 carrier based strike aircraft. In any case II'll be buying a copy :-)

Maybe you could find out about this external covering tested on the F-117 under the Senior Spud program and add it to the book.  reflects light in a strange way. Regards  Empire

Any thoughts about including the Senior Prom program?  The competitor to the Northrop B-2.

There's also Lockheed's entry that lost to Northrop's in what became TSSAM.  Being quite familiar with TSSAM, I'd love to see Lockheed's approach to the requirements.
