So they are claiming a NASP model was built in 1975? Something doesn't compute there.

The seller has been clueless for a long time, I just wanted to know if the model itself looked legitimate or worthwhile.
 
So what does this collector have against horizontal stabilizers?

Previously sold NASP model photo attached!

SSTO is already hard, scramjet SSTO the Tony Dupont way, is a fraud (his numbers were way out in the blue) and on top of that, they added a B-1 like escape pod. Whew.

Did anyone knows the supposed dimension of the original Tony DuPont proposal?
It would be intersting to compare such figure with the 150 foot lenght stated for the late Rockwell X-30 NASP.

Thanks in advance.

The size of an F-16, or even smaller. No kidding.

Umhh... Unlikely, since all the artistic renderings represented a quite bigger vehicle with Two crew in nose section.
 
The earliest proposal was for a single seater proof of concept/test bird, IIRC. There were concerns though that it wouldn't be large enough to hold a worthwhile fuel load, I believe.
 
HALO (High Altitude Launching Option ) was a Lockheed concept circa 1990 for a single-seat proof of concept X-30 configured demonstrator that would have been air launched from the back of an SR-71.
