Space Ship One

http://www.thebulletin.org/issues/19...nd99flynn.html

I just watched in awe and amazement the flight of Rutan's latest. The man is a genius, with testacles to match his brain.

It was on the local news chanel.

I would like to see some decent 3 view drawings of this beauty, but my search was futile.

Anyone?

The proteus has actually been flying for a few years. It's primary purpose is to be a relay vehicle, capable of long duration flights at altitudes up to 70 000'.

I saw Rutan at Oshkosh discussing the X prize, and man, he was deadly serious about winning it. I'd cetainly be putting my money on him as the lead contender.
