L39 upgrades

Made about 25 folks think.i monitored the view count.lol,in 12 hours or less,that was the numbers.just from here alone.i didnt email or social media the link.it was to poll how many pilots and plane enthusiest i had watching this forum.as some of the rat bastards stalking me are pilots at mt.pleasant airport.

Im 90% sure i could do it or come close to orbital.

The caduceus tube could be hammered into a more diamond crossection instead of round tube crossection.maybe mounted on a pivot for some directional aid like some jet fighters have.the diamond crossection would cut down on jet output thrust resistence.

Part of the idea for the hypersonic part is to take a laser for 3d printing and measure the outer surface of a plane.then a carbon fiber shell of hypersonic configeration is made.spray foam is then sprayed inside the shell.then a laser is inserted in the shell and the foam is cut away to the exact dimensions of the plane.a slow acting epoxy is painted on the planes surfaces and the plane is then inserted into the shell.a perfect match.the behind parts are mated and bonded.this way as hypersonic vibrations are created,the foam absorbs them and the structural integrity of the plane is not damaged.the jet engine gets the ramjet or scramjet up to speed and activates.extra fuel is located in the nose cone and wing spaces.under the belly of the plane is a contored scramjet.this way plane can still land with its stock landing gear.the tail would also get the carbon fiber treatment.
Maybe a slope from nose cone on back to tail.going over the canopy but still leaving a hole for the canopy to be opened.enhanced latches to secure against vaccuum popping it open and turning the pilot into a bloody noodle.
The new model would be labeled the "HEL-D"
Hypersonic Engineered Lawn Dart.

The thin air at high altitude would not effect the jet turbine and its fuel could be shut off.the scramjet would get it up to escape velocity and then it could stay in orbit until needed.
Mini hydrogen/space atmosphere thrusters could be embedded in locations and run off a bottle of compressed atmosphere from a mini vaccuum pump.the vaccuum pump would be charged and run from some solar cells mated on surface of craft.a dry cell battery could be used instead of a wet cell battery.thus no evaporation or freezing.antifreeze or alchohol additive could be added to jet fuel to prevent freezing or gelling.a rebreather would replace the o2 bottles and also be powered by the battery.
The plane may need a longer runway but odds are the weight would still be within parameters for engine and landing gear.

Each new flight grad is given a plane,trains on that plane and never leaves its side.he follows it through the upgrade procedure and since hes already use to flying it,it doesnt take long for him to adjust to the mods.he knows every bird strike and paint chip.if he ever crashes it,well its his fault as its been his from day one.
We order like 500 of them.thats 6 billion $.plus 50million$ for the upgrades.hell of a deal for a massive fleet of super aircraft.
We dont have to spend our engineering talent and resources building the planes,we use our pool to upgrade them.as our order is so big,it gets priority at the czech facility and restricts the rest of the world from buying them.czech gets a major economic boost that draws talent out of russia and slows down russian progress in that area.
