Check out this 1964 design of Vincent Burnelli at Burnelli.com. The 64 design has a body lift percentage of 50. The BWB (X-48) is only 20%. Compare the design on the cover page of Burnelli.com to the X-43B by NASA in 2002. This is a mach 7 design and the Burnelli GB-888A was a supersonic design. The resemblance is striking. More recently, DARPA release the design image of a mach 10 plane. It has dropped the canard but the overall appearance is still just as revealing that the Burnelli design was the best in 1964. Had we gone with the Burnelli design then, we'd have been to the mach 5+ design a lot sooner. Check it out. You won't believe your eyes. I know I didn't at first look. I'm workin' on it. </p> The X-48B is the latest in aircraft engineering design or so we are lead to believe. Check out this 1964 design of Vincent Burnelli at Burnelli.com.
