Spring Break Trip 1999
Scaled
Composites never disappoints. Although photography was prohibited
on our tour, it was still a very enjoyable experience. We walked
around the Proteus high-altitude multi-mission aircraft which was under
construction the year before when we were there. We saw a crew compartment
under construction which was to be in competition for an around-the-world
by ballon attempt. There was the original Boomerrang assymetical
twin as well as a new fuselage of a larger version. Also of interest
were many wings and tail surfaces for Orbital Science's Pegasus air-launched
booster. One of the two X-38 CRV models was being rebuilt for a different
project. The pictures below illustrate just some of the projects
Scaled Composites has worked on.
