XH - Talon - 8th Gen VTOL Hypersonic UCAV (IT1 This is not a graphics design)
2022 - New level of technology developed, XH Talon 8th VTOL Hypersonic UCAV
49' Length, 25' Span, Wings Folded: 16' Span
Link to Engines/Propulsion www.ioaircraft.com/hypersonic/utbcc.php
Extreme capabilities, unseen by the humans including black programs. H2 fueled (kero based scramjet engines are not able to operate long above M6) with a kero reserve for ferry flights, subsonic, etc. It can adapt in flight from 100% kero through 100% H2 making it an advanced hybrid.
Summary technologies of the below (real, not academics) 49' length, less then 6' height, 25' span
-6000+F thermal resistance (3rd gen, normalizing high hypersonic flight and orbital re-entry making ablatives and ceramics obsolete entirely)
-graphene airframe (33X tensile strength of titanium but 1/100th the weight of styrofoam)
-VTOL (advanced vtol capabilities, which every aspect is composites)
-u-tbcc propulsion (thru m15 in atmosphere, unified turbine based combined cycle dual mode ramjet/scramjet)
-graphene based super conducting motors for the lift fans (no antiquated shaft driven lift fans)
-H2 Compressed, 1,600 gallons 16,000 PSI (already flown, and patented, publicly, 2nd gen is 16,000 PSI)
-400 gallon kero reserve (hybrid capable)
-Internal bay 154" length to accommodate 1 2,000 JDAM or 3 500 LBS and anything else in between
-3,000+NM RANGE from subsonic through hypersonic, ie Mach 9-14. Super Cruise is an estimated Mach 3. Is able to operate in ramjet mode as well, not just scramjet mode.
-The payload bay can also house a range extender tank conforming internally adding an additional 1,000+ nm range under power for longer range flights used for ferrying and also during intelligence gathering operations, mainly over russia and china.
-Folding wings (16' span folded) for naval operations + Internal tail hook
-Overall weight, at max payload of 3,000 LBS, Kero, and H2, apx 12,300 LBS (Less then the empty weight of an F-35. This is because H2 but also graphene airframe, and graphene/carbide hybrid surfacing)
-USAF version, just remove the lift fans and add more fuel capacity, give an additional 1,000+nm range internally

Planes of Fame Air Museum's Douglas D-558-2 Skyrocket no. 1; BuNo. 37973 (NACA 143) on static display.
The Skyrocket was a rocket and jet-powered research aircraft in the 1950's. Initially powered by a Westinghouse J-34-40 turbojet engine, but was later powered by an LR-8-RM-6 rocket engine. The first of three of the type, this aircraft flew a total of 123 research flights between 1949-1956 to evaluate the type's performance and validating wind tunnel predictions. The second aircraft went on to set a number of altitude and speed records, being the first to exceed Mach 2.

Falcon VTOL - VTOL Hypersonic Business Jet (This is not a graphics design)
New iteration update, Raven SSTO, up to 15,000 LBS payloads to orbit for apx $2 mln per launch. Compresses O2 and H2 fueled, not liquid fueled. Graphene Airframe, 6,000+F thermal resistance. Air Breathing Aerospike, along with the primary U-TBCC propulsion.

Falcon VTOL is a completely new aircraft design, next generation technologies, and capabilities never seen before. As seen here, anything released publicly are early iterations to get a good look and feel for the aircraft type publicly. But rest assured, every single aspect of this aircraft, the technologies, physics, and systems are already developed.

Looking into the main rocket engine of an Apollo Serivce Module (SM).
This particular SM is the Apollo-Soyuz test command module.
Developed in 1956, the XLR liquid rocket engine first flew aboard the X-15 in 1960. That aircraft set numerous altude records, paving the way for the U.S. manned space program.
