Wow, thanks for that link, clarifies what happened. I never thought I'd see a "flash gordon" shaped space ship actually fly, and no here we are.

- Gravityloss 6y agoI think once the aerodynamics are tried a little bit more, it can be refined to a lifting body. Strakes and deltaish wing, something a bit like the space shuttle or X-37. Having completely cylindrical body and two sets wings now for the prototype phase makes control authority good and iterating changes very easy (you can change either wing shape easily), even if it's not optimal mass wise.
