(...) This is very cool! I really like how the cockpit meets the fuselage, especially in the back. I'm probably biased because I like fork tailed planes though. But it is still really cool. James (17 years ago, 9-Mar-07, to lugnet.build)

(...) Yes, this is really neat! Got me to thinking--would anyone dare try to create a push-pull space-fighter a-la: (URL)? For a spaceship, push-pull could create some uniqe design challenges. ;o) -best, Wolf (17 years ago, 9-Mar-07, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) I thought Eric was half a bee? Doesn't that mean he could only be half a fruit bat (at most)? ROSCO (17 years ago, 9-Mar-07, to lugnet.build, lugnet.off-topic.fun, FTX)

  Re: HMAS Fruit Bat
 
(...) Kind of, maybe- but not totally. One could have a ram-scoop for example. Although the particles are pulled to the inlet, there's an equal-and-opposite pull of the vehicle toward the particles. And then there's space-air. Tim (17 years ago, 10-Mar-07, to lugnet.build, FTX)
 
  Re: HMAS Fruit Bat
 
(...) Not entirely: (2 URLs) It's a technicality, but you get the idea :). I'm just looking for an excuse to bring that design up. Soren (17 years ago, 10-Mar-07, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Perfectly normal expression, at least here in Aus. It roughly translates as 'I strongly suggest you internalise things, and move on." (...)

(...) Even if I thought I had anything to prove to you, John, I can't without knowing what 'it' is. Lies? Frivolity? The Holy Spirit?
