So is it feasable at this time considering the advancements in computer controls? Like the F-117 or F-16 are unstable without their computer systems but they work because the computer constantly adjusts the flight. Could they build an easy to fly lifting body now?

Even though I think it would be much safer than the current design for the ISC "lifeboat". -- dillon When I was a kid, I thought the angel's name was Hark and the horse's name was Bob. |
