*TAP TAP* Hello? Is this thing on?

We have been so focused on family and career lately that the page has been severely neglected. I apologize for this, as it was never the intent. That being said, I hope to put the creativity hat back on, and get back to doing some more patches soon. A while back, we were trying some new ideas out, and they just didn't work out the way we had hoped. A little more trial and error is needed, but I think y'all may dig them once we can get them done.

I hope everyone has been doing well under the current circumstances. Focus on what matters most, and the rest will follow.

Awesome list... #6 in particular! But I may be a little biased 😁

Today we are unveiling the aircraft design for a Mach 3 high speed vehicle, and announcing the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Rolls-Royce to collaborate in designing and developing engine propulsion technology for high speed commercial aircraft.

The basic parameters of the initial high speed vehicle design would include a targeted Mach 3 certified delta-wing aircraft with capacity for 9 to 19 people at an altitude above 60,000 feet.

We are pleased to be collaborating with the innovative team at Rolls-Royce as we strive to develop sustainable, cutting-edge propulsion systems for the aircraft, and we are pleased to be working with the FAA to ensure our designs can make a practical impact from the start.
