Radian Spaceplane
 
This popped up on my Facebook feed today.
Anyone got any inside knowledge of this?
Odd that it has apparently made it to the flight test stage with a jet powered prototype with very little publicity.

Flight test stage? Where?
Jet powered prototype? Where?
All I see is a lot of fanciful CGI and possibly some carefully structured photos of a radio controlled model aeroplane, likely with fixed undercarriage.

Some prototype.

Some unsubstantiated hype!

Anyone remember the title-sequence from Fireball XL5?

Exactly.
Which is why I asked if anyone had any information.

It looks like the wide fuselage is custom tailored for some specific payload? ISS will be gone when this is ready. Is there any huge civil space telescope coming up?
