Re: Thrust

[Chris R Harris <yesford@clear.net.nz>]

Part of my bias is because I think that there are more difficult technical
problems to solve with traction-drive vehicles than there are with pure
thrust-drive.  (I will grant you that I think it required the most bravery
to do what Andy Green did.)


Can't say I agree with you here Russ.
Sure,...........up to a point, pushing the thrust throttle open a bit more
instantly adds speed.
However, once that transonic barrier is approached the problems ramp up
wholesale technically compared to sub sonic.
A person of your apparent knowledge and understanding should appreciate this
more than most.
Getting back to Breedlove, whats happening there. Is his effort going to
procede or is it now a no-show.
