Spin-Off Applications...

No limits for the Lifting Bodies.

Many interesting developments will emerge from US-SpacePlane Systems technology. Spin-offs involving Earth Science have already begun. Air vehicles built for Severe Weather Research involving tornado intercept have already been produced from US-SpacePlane Systems lifting body technology. The uniqueness of our design will give way to many diversified applications.

HOW OUR TECHNOLOGY CREATES SPINOFFS.
* First, is the ability within the basic design to be altered and therefore producing many shapes and scientific configurations. This will meet a multitude of requested performance requirements and is the key to many futuristic spin-offs.
* Second, is the elimination of wings, combined with amphibious capabilities.
* Third, is the potential of creating vehicles with massive internal volumes allowing the creation of endless possibilities, a radical departure from the long narrow tube fuselages currently being offered.
* Fourth, are crafts derived from lifting body technologies that are incredibly strong and durable; able to withstand forced landings considerably better than todays designs.
As manufactures increase the size of their planes, safety does not coincide. "saftey is the name of the game"
* Fifth, is the increased need for amphibious vehicles with added capabilities. Watercraft with supersonic performances are now possible.

All US-SpacePlane Systems designs can operate off water, so many marine applications will suddenly emerge. By the same token, small or narrow vehicles having speed and stealthy characteristicis will become available. "What ever the customer wants, he gets"....Sound to good to be true--------lets see.

COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY.
Focusing first on transportation. This new Lifting Body technology will effect many areas of commercial transportation.
Passenger and cargo crafts of the future can benefit from these large volume air frames.

Unmanned Vehicles will continue to grow at a RAPID pace. These lifting body crafts will fit perfectly into future planning of new designs.

Arial Theaters. People can enjoy a specially prepared aircraft built for viewing their favorite movie and experience changes in gravitational forces created in flight. These flying theaters or sports arenas can exhibit floor layouts and spectator seating comparable to current arena stadiums in use today.

Arial Sporting Events might be the next mega business for current sports franchizes. Basketball, arena football, and future games yet to be invented might develope. Live brodcasts from the sky provide a play by play commentary of these radical competitions. The losers would have to leave the plane???? This would add new meaning to the phrase, EXTREME SPORTS.

Tourism is a multi billion dollar industry. Companies offering "Adventure Travel" could customize extravagent flying palaces, capable of landing in remote island locations or in the worlds major population centers. New capabilities will give way to better services. Jetsetters will request more from there service providers, and they will get it!

Business Travel will continue to expand in our global economy. Our technology will support the needs of the next generation business traveler. Corporations will consider building aircraft containing corporate offices. Facilities and services that are mobile and contained within a single craft. Imagine a flying office building with a cafeteria, board room, communications and living quarters, relocatable to any point on the globe. As business travel becomes difficult as a result of added security at terminals, US-Spaceplanes will support business jet spinoffs and secure travel technologies.

Arial Sanctuaries will provide breathtaking views of the earth as parishioners float weightlessly about the ship adding to this angelic experence.

MILITARY SPIN-OFFS
Land, Air, Sea, and Space developments will emerge quickly and increase defensive capabilities. As the role of military forces adapt to new threats, new ways of thinking and new vehicles will follow. Special forces are already being integraded into the next generation of submarine designs. The United States Airforce has for years envisioned a military space plane with world wide access. Projects like Falcon could quickly become a reality. Lifting body technology is the perfect spinoff for this type of application."-

SCIENTIFIC SPINOFFS
As the space program of the USA has progressed, it spawned remarkable spinoffs inconceiavable at the start of the program. Imagine the same trek towards the next generation of technologies waiting to be discovered. I hope some of these ideas have already sparked "your" imagination.

See you in the future.................Jon
