Dateline, Spaceport America, October 4, 2024

 

On the 20th anniversary of the Ansari X Prize-winning flight of SpaceShipOne, and the 67th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik, Scaled Composites and Virgin Galactic have achieved one of the most elusive accomplishments ever - the development and successful orbital flight of a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) vehicle.

 

Derisively referred to as "The Unicorn" by project detractors due to the near-mythically elusive nature of a successful SSTO craft, the monicker was eventually used as the unofficial name of the craft, also known as SpacePlaneOne. Unlike its predecessors, SpacePlaneOne needs no mothership to carry it through atmospheric flight to the edge of space. Thanks to the newly-developed Variable Cycle Engine technology it employs, the craft can take off like any conventional airplane, powered by standard turbojet thrust at sub-sonic speeds, transferring to ramjet thrust during transonic speed, cycling through to scramjet thrust above the sound barrier and finally to full rocket-powered thrust outside of the atmosphere.

 

After successfully breaking the boundary to space as its predecessors SpaceShipOne through SpaceShipTen have so many times before, SpacePlaneOne made three orbits before docking with the International Space Station to prove its capabilities in that area, then returned to the atmosphere and powered flight via the unique and innovative "feathered re-entry" system featured on all previous SpaceShip designs.

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.
