I am looking for drawings of space ship stuff that NASA and other companies proposed back in the day but the project was never completed. I need to build a flying model for a contest next summer. Which downloads would you suggest I purchase if I need something that is rockt powered off the pad, has more then one rocket motor, and does something like seperate in the air. I would need really good drawings with cross sections so I can buld a very accurate model. The X-33 or Venture Star would be acceptable as well.
I am close to completing my Navaho Missile build for the scale event of something that was actually flown, so I am now looking for the scale type model that never flew.
Here is a build thread of my Navaho model.

Doing a write on the ICGM study of late 1950s. It is so rare that I am unable to find ANYTHING on this study other than the two Boeing Reports they did in 1958…tis a boost-glider weapon and parallels RoBo and Dyna Soar?
Did you ever run into anything on this rare bird at any other research site you visited? It is not listed anywhere, unless you know of an MX or WS listing for it. Just askin, cause it is so darn rare.
Input appreciated.
I’m looking for anything to do with Robert Goddard and his rocket development programs. There is not very much engineering data on the internet (or even at the Smithsonian – where I am a Docent and I have spoken to the Goddard curator).
I found this drawing of the Sprint ABM cut-a-way on the internet. I saw the http://www.up-ship.com hoping to find any addition data on this missile. Does anyone have any scale data they would like to share or point me to the right direction.
Thanks,

I thought I purchased Air Drawing 58 and Space drawing 22 a week or more ago but have had no reply and seen nothing in me email to download.
Are you still in business?
I do research for Aerospace Education presentations to cadets, senior members of Civil Air patrol and at regional and national conferences. I really need this information to finalize a project. I put the payment on a visa card but the new billing hasn’t come in yet so I don’t know if you have received payment.
Hope you can help.

Your order was received on the 12th…. and filled on the 12th. Two potential issues:
1) Check your spam filter/bucket. Sometimes they don’t like emails with multiple links in them.
2) Check your *other* email. The order was filled to the email associated with the PayPal order, a different email from the one you commented using.
Dear Sir,
If you were going to, say, plaster a wall with blueprints…How would one go about preserving them from damage? Not much natural light by the way. I’m looking to fill an area 12′ x 7′ with vintage aircraft, rocket and spacecraft blueprints. Also maybe a backsplash area.
Thoughts? Am I nuts?

If you have the funds, the right thing to do would be to have them framed. A place like Hobby Lobby or Michaels can make you a frame to size, within reasonable limits. Additionally, they have glass with special anti-UV filtering; with that, your blueprints should be good pretty much forever, or at least until flood or fire comes along.
A cheaper option would be to simply purchase an off the shelf frame. The glass isn’t UV-protectant, but if the blueprints aren’t directly exposed to sunlight, they should be fine. And if they do fade, if they are standard cyanotypes, they can be brought back. Exposing them to hydrogen peroxide or high oxygen will re-oxidize the “pigment” and bring ’em right back.
Looks for prints on the fat man, little boy, and trinity site A bombs. Please let me know if this something you can sell me. Thanks.

No problem subscribing.
Hi Scott Lowther
My daughter recently came home with the SR71 book you wrote and compiled, as she knew I was writing a short film script based on this aircraft.
However, I have been asking a number of people including Prof Brian Cox, NASA and various individuals a question or two but NO ONE has replied.
Can you help please?

Depends on the question I suppose…
Fantastic Resource! The space transport concepts, SSTO etc. Found this through “Found & Explained”. Thank You!
I just read your excellent SR-71 Origins book, and it is the best book by far on this family of aircraft. I was especially interested in all the proposals made for the A-12/F-12 and SR. Looking forward to more books in this series

Particularly interested in SSTO designs.
I am looking for everything/anything that has to do with “Wing in ground effect aircraft” and morphing aircraft structures. Just found your site…Thanks for making it:) Geeks like me love it!
I throughly enjoyed your Blackbird. I built a solid balsa model of it as a teenager at the time when only two photos had been published. I’m halfway through your B-47/B-52 book. I love your writing style. While most authors preface their opinions (facts) with “arguably”, you come right out and say an aircraft (XB-46) is “unarguably” gracefull, sleek, gorgeous and handsome. Then, you succinctly describe the XB-48 as “well, the opposite”.
It is hard to believe that it was the same engineers who ended up building the beautiful XB-47 could have first created the Boeing Model 432, which you appropriately describe as a “mutant pig…opposed to clean airflow”. Your concept of creating clean and clear modern drawings instead of reproducing old drawings is brillant. It makes reading your book very enjoyable. I’ve always have prefered books with the most pictures.

Mostly done for practicality: my own drawings present me with no real possibility of someone popping up and coming after me regarding copyright or intellectual property. Also: I’ve seen far too many books filled with amazing vintage diagrams reproduced *terribly.* All-new diagrams can be reproduced large and clear. And if I do ’em myself, I know they’re as accurate as can be reasonably attained with the information I have at hand.
Any chance you have the STL’s for the Orion Battleship for sale anywhere?
I do not. I have considered it, but never got around to it.
I am an aviation model enthusiast from California, and I really like the configuration of compound helicopters. I would like to DIY some models.Thank you very much!
