    spaceship one inspiration

    when i first saw spaceship one i immediately thought that would make an interesting configuration for a pusher design, i.e booms attached to wing tips and horizontal surfaces attached to outboard rather than inboard. I gave it some thought and following is what i arrived at. obviously it will...

    twin boom pusher plans

    yes this is pretty much like what gray is working on now. the only difference being structure is all composite. it is mostly drive shaft concerns that has scared me away. i was thinking of filament wound drive shaft or a aluminun one supported with many bearings between the ends.

    twin boom pusher plans

    becuase i need a non-canard pusher design that leaves me either twin boom pusher or mid engine pusher. issues with mid engine configuration has scared me away (difficulty with engine installation and cooling, pitch sensitivity). single boom pusher can also do but they are very rare as i can see it.
