aircraft and all. The ad ends with this aircraft flying off into space.
Could this be a sign that Boeing is the main contractor on this project?
That was the Boeing X-43 "Hyper-X"... it is a hypersonic experimental craft that just recently had it's first successful flight.
Boeing is part of the team that has built the X-43 Hyper-X scramjet vehicle - it is designed to explore Mach 7 to 10 regions of flight.
Boeing's responsibilities on this project include assembly level design, the thermal protection system and the vehicle management system.

Intelgurl, are, are you back? For real? Omg, we missed you so much!!! Your knowledge is much needed, for we have gained new members and less
intelligence, we need more correct knowledge!
Well anyways, yea, I believe that boeing only had an X-43a hypersonic experimental craft, no commercial, but if there is such a thing, I would be
interested in finding out.
