A Range Rover Autobiography, the pinnacle of premium SUV luxury, took centre stage as it towed out the new Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo – officially christened VSS Unity – at a special reveal and naming ceremony at their Mojave Air and Space Port base in California, USA.
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.
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

Everything else is already developed as well.

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.

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.

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.]
The new Land Rover Discovery Sport made a uniquely British public debut today, ahead of the Paris Motor Show. A pair of Discovery Sport vehicles performed a dramatic dynamic debut aboard a giant barge on the River Seine to mark the arrival of the brand’s new premium compact SUV.
Occasionally we can see something very interesting. Like this, one of a kind 'Spaceport America'. That's it. I wanna go to the stars! My very next vacation!!:)

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

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.
Details at link www.ioaircraft.com/hypersonic/falcon.php
Link to Conforming Tank Patent patents.google.com/patent/US20210080060
Link to Engines/Propulsion www.ioaircraft.com/hypersonic/utbcc.php
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 name of this Varga girl is "There'll always be a Christmas", not "V for Victory", which is another image. Just wanted to clarify for the twitterers.

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.
