Here's an announcement which may interest you all.

I have discovered a feature of one of my graphics programmes which inverts images from black-on-white to white-on-black.

This process takes all of ten seconds! If anyone wants to avail themselves of this dicovery I can get them back to you within five or ten minutes.

Don't worry if it has text or a name on it - I can clone brush it out.

As an example here is Ridge Runners' post 2932 on page 147 suitably doctored.

(Sadly I had no knowledge of this craft...I just googled "supersonic delta jet project".)

Good evening Noyade.

I knew that one would be too easy.

I have it as the QSST by Supersonic Aerospace International SAI.

Will produce very little overpressure at Mach 1.6, hence the "quiet" in the name.

It's all yours Mate.

Evening gentlemen!
Thanks LM, looks like an interesting project. And a big thank you to Mr Google.

Here's an odd looking medium range transport project from the early eighties...

I found the DP-1 (a scaled down two-seat proof-of-concept) first and surfing over the net I found out what it was. Try to Google using dupont DP-1 or DP-1C or Dupont DP-1 and also try to locate a very interesting short film which appeared on YouTube. The DP-1 did undergo some tethered testing in September 2007, but as a non-aerodynamicallist I think the design leaves something to be desired. Romour has it that the ONR (the USNavy Office of Naval Research) gave a generous subsidy for the development of the aircraft . It seems the DP-1 (or DP-1C) had two ""Cessna Citation"" turbofan engines, but I did not find out which Citation model.

I declare OPEN HOUSE

Sorry WK, but nobody may accept an open house at the moment.

Although you are almost certainly correct, thread etiquette dictates that we must wait for Noyade to confirm.
