Once there launched and we have a heavy launch vehical, then they could proceed with the bigger models.<br /><br />I'm waiting to see how every thing is layed out on the Sundancer and BA-330Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56952783725884689.post-87024306463670132632011-02-23T01:39:49.951-05:002011-02-23T01:39:49.951-05:00Rich, thanks for your comment.

However, to shrink it further to the volume of a BA-1250 would require a length-to-diameter ratio of less than 1, almost on the edge of the 0.667 level where the "barrel" portion goes to non-existent.<br /><br />If they were to actually build a BA-2100 and BA-1250, I do suspect that they would be based on a common diameter around 13 m as you say. Thanks for your interest.

It would also be possibly to get the BA-2100 simply by stretching the BA-1150(1250). Without designing the bigger diameter BA-2100.richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710895368838117298noreply@blogger.com
