A Fine Ship: Dassault Aviation’s Civillain Suborbital Spacecraft


Dassault Aviation wants to put civilians in space, too, and it plans to accomplish that with this air-launched reusable hypersonic vehicle. Based on NASA’s X-38 experimental plane, this one will launch off the wing of a commercial aircraft flying at about 25,000 feet, rocketing its six passengers at Mach 3.5 up to 62 miles high.
