This hybrid rocket/jet aircraft takes off and lands like a plane, and the engines switch to rocket mode to reach orbit, where it docks with a space station or the Lunar Tour Vehicle for their next destination. This uses the Docking System I devised for spacecraft. Click the big picture to go to the set page on Flickr, or click on an individual photo. Or, you can view a slideshow of the photos. |

February 24, 2002: Lunar Tour Vehicle
Part bus, part spacecraft, this vessell meets up with the Passenger Transport in Earth orbit and ferries them to the moon, where they can spend a week visiting the Apollo landing zones and other historical and natural wonders. Its rockets pivot aft for flight, and downward for takeoff and landing. Inside are all the luxuries a traveler could want, plus facilities for the crew. A generous galley and head are included.

January 16, 2002: Yellow Hopper Truck
Another repost…
This truck is for carrying sand, gravel, LEGO bricks, or similar material. A door in the bottom opens to allow dumping. I later rebuilt the trailer to produce a second version of this model.
