  • In 1988-89 I worked as an engineering consultant on the x-30 engine as a senior draftsman in charge of one of the design teams on the cooling baffles. It was put on hold shortly after the Soviet Union fell apart and within a few weeks we were told to package up all of our notes and designs and were shortly after that all laid off. I just wish that instead of spending all the money that the U.S. has spent on Iraq and Afganistan that we would have kept working on this. Giving mankind a future.

  • and now its 2012 and we still using the 747 SP to fligh

  • It's sad how this never happened. I think that as time goes by, aircraft technology isn't advancing anymore. I even think part of it is becoming LESS advanced, because we retired some amazing aircraft like the Concorde and the SR-71 Blackbird.

  • Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Well, a first backseat driver syndrome...

  • @theyalllied we need to do things like this.

    7 billion people on Earth, we need to get to other solar systems to colonize planets. due to over populations.

    or we need to limit each person 1 child lke china did or 2 childern.

    The space shuttle program has kept us back for 30 years. private business would do this better.

    Earth can no longer support all of us

  • lol

  • 1995, awesome

  • @andresrodrigoescobar  The X 30 was to be propelled by a scramjet; that is, a ramjet that operates by letting air flow through it at supersonic speed. A ramjet basically is a specially shaped duct that compresses incoming air while the aircraft is moving. Fuel is injected into the compressed airstream and it ignites. The rear of the duct allows the exhaust to expand and leave the engine producing thrust.

  • @jag9998 maybe they didnt, pait it black and you have the araura spyplane....and if your e wondering how it would be paid for there is trillions unaccounted for in us military spending.

  • @Brommes

    Thank God, we don't have money for things like this.
