AERION MOONSHIP

I was reading this about a new Supersonic plane https://www.ge.com/news/taxonomy/term/5844 from 2019 and I thought, Wow! 

That new Aerion AS2 looks a lot like our friend the Century 21 Moonship from over 50 years ago! See what you think!

Now that's flying!

  1. looks very like the Aurora Nuclear Airliner, or the Ragnarok Orbital Interceptor - now that was a kit! https://www.boxartden.com/gallery/index.php/Boxart-Collection/AURORA/AEROSPACE/CONCEPTUAL/Aurora-Nuclear-Airliner

  2. I bet some of these aerospace designers get their inspiration from old toys and magazine covers, and then charge an arm and a leg for their “new” designs! SFZ

    1. I love to surf the old pulp covers online for nuggets of inspiration for MC SFZ!
