Hehe yeah... well, it's already apparent that "some of us" are nuts.Some of us would jump at the chance.
Hell, even knowing the failure rate, some of us would have jumped at the chance to ride the Shuttle before she retired.
You could make the same claim of all great adventurers. And I've never claimed to be sane.Hehe yeah... well, it's already apparent that "some of us" are nuts.
You just verified a known fact...
I can't speak as to ownership or funding, but anybody who knows aviation can look at it and instantly see Burt Rutan's hand in the designI bet the global warming mob is going to be mad. Is probably belongs to Al Gore.
Lol, I'm sticking with my original opinion...I can't speak as to ownership or funding, but anybody who knows aviation can look at it and instantly see Burt Rutan's hand in the design
That man is an absolute genius, and a heaven-sent gift to the art and science of aircraft design. He absolutely ranks up there with the Wrights, Glenn Curtiss, Clarence Kelly, and a couple of others.

It looks like someone had 2 airplane fuselages and 3 wings and said, "Hey, I got an idea..."
And it was connected at the tail section(s)..."The North American F-82 Twin Mustang is the last American piston-engine fighter ordered into production by the United States Air Force.
True. That's what struck me as most interesting about this aircraft--the fact that the tails weren't connected. That has the potential to put huge twisting loads on the central wing section, so there must be a combination of computer active control of the empennages and some remarkable materials in the central wing. My only guess as to a reason for such a design is to leave more clear space in the middle for the payload spacecraft than a connected tail would provide.And it was connected at the tail section(s)...
