Too complicated. Might be some (mostly) air-breathing gas-turbine SST related potential in the technology, but not wing borne-to-rocket orbital flight with one type powerplant. Even if it could ever work, what is the problem with using an extra 250 tons of LOX? The foreseable future must be with more reusable, mature, reliable, rockets launching one-way loads or spaceplanes.
