- Below is the Denver Post article (no charge courtesy of Lt Col Jolliffe) on the hypersonic vehicle. I queried him about how they seal the ends of the helium tunnel and he replied they use 4 mil plast

- Yeah, that thought crossed my mind as soon as I read that article. Then came the problem of storage - in order to be effective, you essentially have to create a vapor "skin" of helium around the vehi

- I remember talk of the "blown" wing, also, but never learned enough to understand how it is supposed to work. Some time ago there were experiments doing the opposite-- sucking the turbulent boundary

- Russ & mayf; Thanks for the details of the "blown wing" concept. Maybe hot exhaust gasses from header collectors could provide some downforce if they exited under a properly shaped belly pan? Hmmm...

- I remember reading about the "blown airfoils" that you describe here. Way impressive, aeronautically-speaking; makes the wing think it is going a lot faster than the speed of the plane. Not obvious

- John S., Mayf: looks like the work that was done with the Phantom (what an airplane!) must have been a sort-of (more subtle) precursor to the cargo prototype that Mayf was talking about. Again, not s

- Well, maybe... But what I would think was needed would be less air under there and being drawn out the back in some kind of expansion chamber. LIke the pan would be concave starting at a point near t
