Something I found in a trade mag advert:

Now I know I'm aeronauticaly challenged but wouldn't that canard structure cause problems with airflow into the engines ?
I'd have thought so Chris..... :unsure:
Not sure you can call that a flying wing really: more of a blended-fuselage canard.
Very pretty, to quote Dunc, practicallity be damned!!! :drink: Chris, I'm not sure, but the fuselage looks like it slopes down so maybe the canards are actually lower? :unsure:
I'm looking at that join mid fuselage & I'm thinking mother & daughter. The large flying wing mother is a first stage with the daughter being a rocket powered space plane (it does look a little bit like it's shape is suited to a lifting body). The daughter seperates to reveal a cockpit under it's tail, off it goes up to the moon! Maybe.... ;D
Sexytastic, whatever it is! Nice find, GTX. Where's it from?
I wonder how many bombs/missiles/crates of beer that could carry then ;D
Chris.
