One of the reasons why issue V2N2 of APR is late in getting out: illustrations for the Large Orions article are taking a while. This is nearing completion, but not quite there yet (obviously).

NOTE: Researching all this wacky stuff takes time and money. You can support the cause by Buying My Stuff, which includes aerospace drawings and documents, as well as the journal of unbuilt aircraft and spacecraft projects, Aerospace Projects Review.

Or just plain Give Me Money.

  One Response to “Orion Battleship”

  1. I’ll say one thing for that derivation of the Orion concept; it’s certainly not too complex of a design is it?
    Looks like Jules Verne’s “Columbia” with a pusher plate on the back, and one pictures it coming flying out of a immense silo somewhere down in Florida, after having been built by The Baltimore Atomic Cannon Club. 🙂
