@RussianSpaceWeb Looks like a relatively limited derivative of the Orlyonok which did have that role.

@DJSnM @scottmari TSR2!

I realized we were missing an important element with this video @SpaceX @EliteDangerous

@heatloss1986 @Tigershark3082 P.1216 is what we should have had. https://t.co/HEIHc7zjBQ

Harrier as originally envisaged was intended for a larger European Soviet conflict where major airfields had already been nuked. Forward deployment and naval use with ramps was a later thing.

This scenario was why TSR2 and similar concepts had short field requirements and once included a lifter vehicle so it could be vertical takeoff. The Shorts P.17D

@steeve There's also some Dual B60's that sounds interesting.

It was a fun thing at Cranfield when I joined after the project was over. My Supervisors initially intended I create health management systems for it but as I discovered with my colleague Dr Heaton the gumstick flight computers were no longer in situ and restoring the avionics meant a whole new contract with the OEM we didn't have the budget for unfortunately.

In all seriousness this may have been my favorite shot from Artemis II so far

@JustusRwrt @byte_thrasher That's pretty cool. Airworthiness qualification of systems is no joke

[Joni Pelham 🇬🇧🇱🇹 ✈️ 🚀🦀🐍 @jonititan]

@BrianRoemmele @badobsessionmsp did something like this.
Good for prototypes I guess.

@DrPhiltill Yes hence my caution regarding heating dusts.

But no everything burns. I suspect that 1200K vaporization is when it's in vacuum?

Probably ignition temperature is much lower assuming there is some oxygen present.

[Joni Pelham 🇬🇧🇱🇹 ✈️ 🚀🦀🐍 @jonititan]

@DrPhiltill And that's definitely as a dust not as a solid?

[Joni Pelham 🇬🇧🇱🇹 ✈️ 🚀🦀🐍 @jonititan]

@DrPhiltill I'm also wary because gases and dusts are the only two things in the world that burn.

[Joni Pelham 🇬🇧🇱🇹 ✈️ 🚀🦀🐍 @jonititan]

@DrPhiltill Interesting. Doesn't it vaporise and then solidify somewhere if heat flux too high?

[Joni Pelham 🇬🇧🇱🇹 ✈️ 🚀🦀🐍 @jonititan]

It will always be one of my fondest memories having been able to facilitate three airships coming to Shortstown. Even if only for the day.

@GeoGDF01 Why V12? No love for the Deltic?
