Poster Design. Part of a set based on the prospect of affordable space exploration by human beings.
Model: Ruth Birkett
More info from Raven B Model - Iteration 10. Mach 8-10 Hypersonic Business Jet. Previous post lnkd.in/enxwifA was a new iteration update. Cleaning some things up, as I am not a graphics designer. Engineering, physics, etc yes. This post covers some technical aspects while still sanitizing everything.

Overall, this single aircraft design that is ready for building and going into serial production absolutely obliterates Lockheed's SR-72 (Mach 5) by DOUBLE the margins and a fraction of the costs, and BOOM, Virgin Galactic, etc.
Sure it can economically cruise at Mach 3-4.5 supersonically at under 50% throttle as well, but 7,000-8,000 NM Range at Mach 10 at over 100,000ft altitude and normalized hypersonic flight along with 6,000F thermal resistence.
A - Model is the SSTO (Single Stage to Orbit) version here: lnkd.in/efbmk_W

*Note, I use colors in my cad blocks and layer. I could easily tint/grey them out. I could care less how others do it. ALL dynamics are highly refined for normalized sustained Mach 10 flight. Extensive CFD refinement over many years, along with material science, and several upcoming patent filings for individual technology advancements, along with 2nd gen high pressure conforming tanks that utilize graphene inner shells at 2,000,000 PSI tensile strength normalizing 16,000 PSI high pressure storage vessels. Everything else is already developed as well.

The first production Discovery Sport has rolled off Land Rover's production line in Halewood, UK. The car will now make its way to Virgin Galactic's headquarters, to be used by the team as they continue to prepare for the launch of the world's first commercial spaceline.

Spaceport America, New Mexico
[Note: A seat on this early version of the spaceplane cost $450,000, for a one-hour ride reaching Mach 2.96 and over 50 miles high. The cost per seat on Virgin Galactic's new Delta spaceplane with six passenger seats will be $600,000, and 800 people are said to be on the waiting list.]
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.

The hand-wringing over the failure of the Orbital Sciences resupply rocket and the fatal failure of SpaceShipTwo reminded me of some earlier hand-wringing, and what happened afterward. It's a difficult road, but one worth traveling.
Virgin Atlantic Airways - Boeing 747-41R - G-VWOW (c/n 32745/1287) - Cosmic Girl
UPDATE (December 2015) "Cosmic Girl" was withdrawn from Virgin Atlantic operation in October 2015. She is slated to become Virgin Galactic's "LauncherOne" air-launched satellite lifter after modifications are made to strengthen the vestigial structure of the inboard left wing formerly intended to ferry a spare "fifth" engine to now hold a 55,000-lb. rocket.
UPDATE (January 2017) - On November 12, 2015 this aircraft was re-registered by Virgin Galactic as N744VG.
UPDATE (November 2017) - On March 2, 2017, Richard Branson announced the splitting of LauncherOne operations from Virgin Galactic to a new entity, Virgin Orbit.

Bought my very first duty-free product while in flight on Virgin Atlantic yesterday: a model of Virgin Galactic's spaceship!
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.

Nicely put together... part of the new Museum of Flight Charles Simonyi Space Gallery. White Knight Two will simply lift SpaceShipTwo to launch height, let SpaceShipTwo unhitch and rocket itself to suborbital altitude...
BTW, I cropped this pic to keep a distracting element out of it :-). To learn more about this commercial space venture... go to www.virgingalactic.com/
