Fitliker,

Only if they wanted to accept a dramatic reduction in aircraft ceiling.

They need a replacement they could order a couple of Scaled Composite Proteus. Ceiling with 50% fuel was already in the FL 650+ region. Then for the NASA Crystal-FACE program they fitted it with 13.5ft wing extensions.......
