Bristol Ramjet Aircraft

Bristol-Siddeley wasn't satisfied with just Mach 3 ! ;)
In AERO 10/1982 a concept for a Mach 7 Airliner was shown,
the lower aircraft is just used for launching the upper one, a modern
version of the Short Mayo Composite !

SUPERSONIC GIANT

NEW YORK: Capable of flying 130 passengers, from London to New York in 98 minutes, or from New York to Los Angeles in 70 minutes, this giant model airliner could be the plane of the future. Engineers at Bristol-Siddeley Engines, Ltd., the British aviation firm that conceived the plane, said the delta-wing craft could be produced with today's technical know-how. The plane would be powered by a combination of eight or more turbojet engines, such as used on conventional jet planes, and ramjets, now used to power missiles.
