Yes they can build it, but can they make it mission-capable during the lifetime of anyone involved in the programme?

What’s funny is the common inlet/exhaust w/ a ramjet/scramjet is something I used on a design back in high school for the NASA Junior Aerospace Scholars Program.

I don’t have the description for it all still written down, but I do remember this being a multiple mode setup to allow it to be a LEO spacecraft where it…

But just because we can do something does not mean we should do something,

I’d like to see it done, just because it’s there. The X-15 STILL holds records that have lasted since the 60's, we should break them, because we can. We should ALWAYS be striving to push the envelope. As for practical uses for a hypersonic aircraft, I’ll freely admit they are marginal, but they could also be a…

For Lockheed to make this claim, I’m calling them on it.

Why build it once when you can build it twice for twice the price?

Actually, Cubans are taught exactly that America is evil. But, just like Muslims, the vast majority are smart enough not to fall for such bullshit.

Mexicans do blow things up. Have you seen a Mexican bathroom?

I’m really not ready to condemn a whole group of people just because of actions of a few.

Could not agree more, this is not like accepting Cuban migrants or Mexican migrants. Cubans are not taught that America is the great evil and Mexicans dont believe in blowing up schools.

Considering this just happened after the Paris Attacker’s capture, I wonder if he was involved with the planning for these attacks. Either way, crap, man. This is awful.

Seeing as how only 22 had been produced by the time the Japanese surrendered and that it was a transport your post is strangely unconvincing.

You are talking out of your ass.

Wat bro?

A. Not a bomber.

This is the first plane to use the Air Force One callsign, not the first presidential aircraft.

If you’re referring to the XB-30, the program...as you should know, was cancelled. (However, I’m sure the Connie would have made an exceptional long range bomber considering the longevity of the transport/AEW/etc. exemplified by this extant example...the original Lockheed has a magnificent manufacturing record).

They got the fight they deserved.

Nope ... transport only. A very successful commercial airliner, and one of the aircraft flying in to feed hungry Germans at great risk during the Soviet Blockade of Berlin. Something I doubt either the Nazis or Japanese would have done if they had won WWII.

... the first aircraft to fly with that callsign has also made news. Columbine II, a gorgeous Lockheed Constellation (military designation Lockheed VC-121A-LO) that flew President Eisenhower ...
