Detail from your lik (thanks):
"The University of Michigan Aerospace 490/590 Advanced Airplane Design class has designed the Eclipse, an aircraft whose primary mission is to act as a launch platform for a space booster weighing 500,000 pounds."

Looks like one of Dr. Salkeld's designs from the 1960's.
