I'm off today, it's nasty outside, and I was bored. So here you go. These were too big to load as attachments so I give you the links.

2007 AF brief on Hypersonics:

A Boeing Advanced Systems presentation for Farnborough 2008. Good stuff featured like the FA-XX, 2018 Bomber, and so on. :

Enjoy!

Re: Some Briefs

Its interesting that the hypersonics brief show a lot of "mothership" configurations. Yet the "blackstar" system has been debunked pretty vigorously around here.

Maybe its not an orbiter, but a hypersonic "something else"?
 
Re: Some Briefs

Those are just generic concepts. Perhaps there is at least some learning from the NASP fiasco, not trying to use a single stage air breather all the way to orbit - instead have a small pure rocket stage carried by the large air breather first stage.

Military Spaceplane brief from 1999: http://cobweb.ecn.purdue.edu/~aae450s/fall03/osp-msp/verderame-msp-1999-phillips.pdf

For some reason, it's not letting me do a copy and paste of the link from where I'm at. So........

Open the link below, go down to the link titled "verdamme-msp-1999", and voila!

The Verdamme presentation has illustrations of DC-X and X-33 style concepts for the MSP. Also featured are the X-37/X-40.
The link also has various papers reagrding the topic as well Verdamme's presentation.

The last link doesn't want to work, could you upload the brief to zshare.net and post the downloadl ink here maybe?
 
Works fine:

THAT link worked, thanks. I couldn't get the other one to open for some reason.
 
I do apologize. When the desert winds pick up out here, it does weird things to my Internet connection, plus I'm on a POS brand computer at the moment. Thanks to MZ for fixing that last one.
