Area-51 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Research "Flightship" and you will discover what caused the project to be renamed and owner to relocate overseas. Its a great concept for many reasons, and hope they succeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueadventures Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Interesting. A mate that tested the Cairns ones back in the 90’s told me how his back was after it belly flopped from about 4 meters. He was not impressed with the stall effect. He said eventual plan was to be a small Boeing jet capacity and do Brisbane to Mackay in 4 hours and operate in 4 meter wave height seas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area-51 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The issue with the business model, like most, is that its "cost" incentive driven as opposed to "performance" incentive driven; broadly one of the two above dynamics never end well for anybody due to the presiding entity calling the shots... Someone mentioned the word Boeing; yes, exactly, case in point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
