Briefs: Int. Space Fellowship makeover; Materials for hypersonic flight; Aerospace data

Rob Goldsmith points me to the new look of the website at International Space Fellowship.

"Aussie hypersonic's" Seems the Aussie's are still in pursuit of the sugar scoop spillage Busemann inlet R@D. It appears the US gave it up with the redesign of Blackswift to conventual 2D configuration. Queensland vehicle appears to be dual SCRAM over/under inlet application. They maybe the ones to take hypersonic propulsion to actual commercial point-to-point use for they have high transport speed need more than US or UK.

Also great modeler links…thanks!
