“....nitrous oxide propulsion system...”

Wondering if the noise of the motor sounds like giggling.

There's a lot to be said for the efficiency of using an air-breathing jet as a first stage for a rocket. The X-15 program did quite well using B-52s to get their rockets to a good altitude and speed before launch

Thanks for the update. Myself I am not a fan of this particular program. I think its going to be a disaster waiting to happen. Time will tell though I guess.

This is a unigue contraption.

It may seem otherwise, but there are only TWO aerial vehicles in the photo.
