WhiteKnightTwo Roll-out at AirVenture 2008
The EAA has confirmed with The Aero-News Network that the roll-out of WhiteKnightTwo in July will be part of AirVenture 2008 both in real-time and throughout the week.
While I still think Rutan will eventually give up on the hybrid rocket engne and go with liquid propulsion, he's certainly the pre-eminent aerospace engineer of modern times. He can design, finance and build a radical new spacecraft in the time it takes NASA to make a set of Powerpoint slides. To bad his NASA project (the X-34) was cancelled.
