Hi,

NASA research is mainly into military applications at the moment, tho their ramjet test machines are hitting around Mach7 or something.

I saw something on TV tonight that spoke about the new Airbus A380 double-decker passenger plane, and they were talking about it having a gym and shops and stuff. Yeah... that'll really happen. The original 747 had a cocktail lounge and other niceties until the Airline companies saw they could jam in a bunch more seats and get more money. I'm sure the A380 will go the same way and be chock full of seats, rather than have shops and spas and stuff.

The 747 is near the end of its life and Boeing, for the first time, have come 2nd to Airbus in sales and deliveries. Boeing thought about doing some more stretches to the 747 but decided against it. They then went onto their sonic-cruiser option, but that died away also. Now they're working on the 7E7 Dreamliner to try and recapture the lost market.

I hope they succeed 'cos the Airbus is European and that means France is heavily involved and I hate anything French.

Now, I'd like to see a Viper take on an F15 from a standing start on an aircraft carrier. You pull a stack of Gs on the take-off from the steam catapult, and more when you stop and the hook catches the wire.

Matter of fact, I'd love to have a stack of old shit box cars and launch them into the ocean from the catapult, just to see how far I can sling them.

Oh, and bring back the Concorde... better yet, bring back the Connie!
