Developed by the NASA and USAF National Hypersonic Flight Research Facility in conjunction with Lockheed's Skunk Works, the L-301 was a concept design for an airbreathing and rocket-powered hypersonic vehicle meant to reach speeds upwards of Mach 8. The vehicle would be air-launched off of a B-52 Stratofortress as it was not capable of runway launch. It would be outfitted with rockets and scramjet modules.

This rendition is a single staged spaceplane capable of bringing 50 tons of payload to orbit. Action groups are labeled.

    I'm not seeing what you are trying to say. They have not tinkered aside for aesthetics.

    Δv is actually 4.08, or so the stats read, 25% difference. I won’t keep doing this , it surely isn’t making a difference at this time I think my point is made, chao
