txxxxx, the skyflop "details" picture page you posted shows two hours to 28km. Along with loads of carp such as: Space Shuttle landing speed 400 mph, lightweight equals "slower" re-entry!
There is no way that this concept will ever be built. High altitude air breathing hybrid engines may find a niche, maybe even for launching small Rockets into orbit!
