I am going to post this as is for now, Iteration 1. Besides USPTO issued patent on the tanks last week. What is that? SS1, Single Stage to orbit Smallsat Launches to LEO. Orbital debris removal, satellite servicing. etc. Eliminating rockets, forever.
Launch cost estimates for 200 LBS? $50,000 USD... Correct. How? Slows it's itself down to 8,000 mph before re-entry which results in very little wear on the aircraft along with very high thermal resistance. It does not use liquid fuels, and unlike the other SSTO's I have designed and ready to be built, this is not a scramjet. This does not use rocket boosters. Takes off from a runway under its own power.. hence SSTO

Space Force game. The game looks easy but it can really test your patience and force a steady hand, along with good timing.
Falcon Heavy near outer booster separation this morning. It was a foggy, cloudy kind of day on the Florida coast, but we could see snatches of seconds as the rocket climbed towards space.

Iteration 10 - Raven B Model - Mach 8-10, 22 Passenger hypersonic business jet. New iteration reflects design changes from Raven A Model, which is an SSTO, a real one. ALL technologies associated "are" developed. It is also ZERO CARBON.
More Info: www.ioaircraft.com/hypersonic/raven-business.php
Not a graphics design or graphics rendering, but sanitized cad screenshots. This is not a concept, but ready for serial production. Not really looking for investors and such. Everything DOD is funding for hypersonic fixed aircraft is OLD and rehashed perpetually for 40+ years at 10X the price. Others, pushing supersonics and hypersonics, also very old technologies at very expensive prices and operating costs. This, about the same as a G650 or Global Express costs and operating costs and normalized Mach 10 dynamics in all regards in atmosphere.

New iteration for Raven SSTO, Single Stage to Orbit. This isn't the heavy, Discovery. But the smaller one. For example, SpaceX's dragon capsule is 378 Cu Ft, Payload bay of Raven is 1078 Cu Ft. www.ioaircraft.com/hypersonic/raven.php
Iteration 10, almost clean sheet. U-TBCC propulsion, 6000F thermal resistance, 3D printed graphene airframe, Note the elimination of "blunt nose". Turn around time under 24 hours total from landing to ready for next flight. No external boosters.
Forward Thruster Bay, other then conventional orbital thrusters, also includes a reverse thruster which decelerates the aircraft pre re-entry into atmosphere from 16,500+ mph ground speed to apx 12,000 mph ground speed. Engines re-ignite once in atmosphere so it can fly to it's landing destination, ie not glide.

I wanted to do something sexy for the Space Cadet so I reused the breast plate from my Prodigious Girl costume, and to balance it out I used the Astrobooty hip/butt pads. (How appropriate!)
