Canada with Avro had made flying saucers as far back as the late 50s, I just don’t think they are very practical heh.
haha, that wasn’t the pic they showed us during training, but that looks comical too just like the other one did.
I still think ramjets, or scramjet engines are the way to go, you just need a secondary propulsion to get the aircraft up to speed so they can operate. Then we can cut down our travel times drastically, provided we have neutered the TSA by then heh.
Yeah. That’s the ‘Fred Flintstone’ pic!
:)

You’d have to fly it like the B2.. No real ‘stick’ but computer controlled.
LOL - everyone is laughing at my pink camera.
For the business traveller
For the small family circa 2025 - it can land and take off from water or air strip.
computer controlled does make me nervous I will admit. Well, one has to wonder now how they flew the SR-71, and birds that went that fast. I suppose I could google it, but the kids are up and I better feed them heh.
Thanks for the clarification. Just when you think you know the FARs, there’s a loophole...
Thus my comment about the V-tail.
With the curved struts, I’d say more of a U shape.
