It'll NEVER work out: single engine, V-tail... It'll never get close to their claim of Mach 0.6, it is obviously dangerous, it's incredibly inefficient, they'll never produce any of these, they'll go bankrupt soon, Burt Rutan has no idea what he's doing, blah blah blah...
Did I forget anything?
Oh yeah; I want one..

Looks a bit like some of the early stealth aircraft, though the Scaled composite one is prettier. Attachment: Tacit_Blue_in_flight.jpg Attachment: 1011_scaledcomposites_16x9.jpg

Scaled has never bought into Marcel Dassault's theory, "For an airplane to fly well, it must look good..."
