Hi Everyone! I'm very interested in the Grob G850 Strato 2C, (a research aircraft), and I was wondering if anyone had any three-views of this aircraft and if so, could you possibly post them on this website. I'd like to do some illustrations of this aircraft and possibly a scratch-built model...

Hi Everyone! Presented here is information on the Ayres LM200 Loadmaster, which is described as a Multi-role Light Transport, (an interesting aircraft which, alas, never entered production.) I've found plenty of photos of this aircraft but I've been unable to find any good three-views of it...

The SERJ could work as a ramjet and a scramjet right? (It's been awhile since I read and responded to this post -- weird though, I normally have a photographic memory) Wow, that's such a simple strategy though. Start small test, if works go bigger, if works go bigger yet, if that works and...

A thread for the Tupolev Tu-2000 aerospaceplane and also other VKS contenders. The Tu-2000A (first two pictures) was to be a 70-90 tonnes demonstrator of the actual SSTO spacecraft. The third pic shows a model that was displayed at the 1992 Mosaeroshow. I'm still not certain whether it's meant...
