The Idea:
The Shuttle was born out of playing around. The
concept was to create a plane which was a cross
between a helicopter, a small passenger/cargo
plane and a hyper-space plane. In terms of design
wanted to create a synthesis between organic and
mechanical. |

The Story:
Had been thinking of a spaceport / remote air
pad and was thinking up what could serve the purpose
of supplying to the ATNs from low orbiting mother
ships. Thus this V/STOL craft was born. It's capable
of both rocket and air breathing propulsion. Has
two set of engines. One placed at the top, whose
main purpose is flight.
Second set of engines are near the undercarriage.
Their main purpose being for take-off and short
landing. The engines have swivel/thrust vector
nozzles.
The wings and tail are capable of swinging back.
This serves two fold purpose. Parking in constricted
space (much like aircrafts on an aircraft carrier)
and secondly offering low crossection while re-entering
atmosphere. |

The
Execution:
Modelled completely in Bryce through primitive
and boolean ops. This's yet to be used in a complete
illustration. |
