...I still have the Space News glossy Roton brochure, which was a pretty slick piece. I remember hoping that the company would stick around long enough to frighten launch companies into lowering some of their costs.

I also remember wondering if scale models and various sculpted blade designs were tested in an air tunnel for maximum lift...I even thought that after the vortical turbulence patterns had been mapped it might benefit from differing "tiered" blades which could operate more efficiently at varying altitudes.

Fighting the status quo - however is like fighting the collective lethargy of the nation. That proved to be too much of a dead weight - even for Rotary Rocket.

Best wishes,
