[hesham]

Hi,


please,can you ID this Airbreathing Lauch Vehicle,which was powered liquid hydrogen
fuel ?.

 

[flateric]

you've cropped image from original article without giving its title to make ID process more complicated?
when we will learn you not only look for funny pictures, but READ TEXT, TOO?

The next figure (fig. 11) shows a liquid hydrogen fueled aircraft
(ref. 10) with a tankage arrangement that had no historical counterpart
or empirical data base and hence required the development of specialized
theoretical computer programs to investigate the structure. The tanks
in the vehicle support all the vehicle loads and are pressurized.

My dears Flateric and XP67-Moonbat,


I don't remember the source,and I found it in my files,so I thought it was a real
design and not hypothetical.
