In the meantime, could you (or anyone else) name the projects on the 'Hypersonic', 'Space', and 'Future' sections of the drawing composition?
Left-Right, and Up-down:
Hypersonic:
1: General Dynamics -Fort Worth (now Lockheed) Mach 5 strike plane from the INCAAPS program
2: McDonnell-Douglas (now Boeing) Mach 10 Cruiser (one of two+ designs)
Space:
1: SpaceWorks Engineering "QuickSat"
2: 12-Meter Orion (General Atomics Corporation). Designed to lurk in deep space (beyond the Moon) and serve as an unstoppable nuclear retaliatory system
3: Orbital Sciences X-42
4: Rockwell MRCC (suborbital/orbital spaceplane designed to fulfill an F-111 sort of role, just from space)
Future: (note: these are designs that are at least theoretically still possibilities... designs may get shuffled aroudn in the end)
1: Northrop "B-3" design
2: Lockheed Falcon HCV
3: Northrop QSP - this design may go to the "strike aircraft" book

Also, are the drawings within each group meant to be to scale?
All drawings are to the same scale. That's why some of them are nearly just smudges at this scale, like the submarine-launched Pluto variant shown in the lower right corner of the "nuclear powered" section. The scale bar, in meters, is in the "missile carriers" section.
A further note: I have not been creating the drawings in an orderly fashion, but rather haphazardly. That's why there are a lot of nukes but no B-47's and only one B-52; I just haven't done these other drawings yet.
