Any hints as to where to go to look for it online?

Nope wasn't talking about that guy. Something much faster went old school nouveau.

It's back, at 2:12..

Learned something new the LRS-B concept at 1:52 is a variable geometry concept oh, and shortly after that another kind of variable geometry I have thus far only seen as a 2D concept..

a reply to: clay2 baraka

Referring to 2:12. Yeah, don't think that guy looks like that if it's what I think they are implying it is. (something that will/does travel very fast. ) More old school, but very up to date.. Sweeter lines. not as fat through out. Playing off an old idea that may address a few solutions needed for what it does.

Like that variable geometry idea BTW. Thinking a few aircraft from LM will be using something similar.

That bird at 1:52 looks like a beast!!! Would looooove to see that thing fly. To paraphrase what someone here on ATS once said "Bricks will be $ on the day that thing is deployed and the enemy sees it. " But that's the point they wont see it!! Haha Russia, china.

PS I love LM. It does seem like they never forget who they're working for. Sweet designs! You guys are making some of us Americans very proud, keep it up.

a reply to: BASSPLYR

VS-07 great design , lower and faster in the same plane like a stealth B1-B great design for a LRS-B

a reply to: darksidius

Great design for a B-1b replacement too.

There are ways to mimic antigravity that isn't antigravity, but it could be mistaken for it.

Like thsi new mystery propulsion device Boeing has in development

a reply to: crazyewok

Different system. Although there are rumors of an engine that went missing somewhere in the world during a testing mishap.

a reply to: Zaphod58

I can image the look on the faces of the engineers watching that thing disappear.

a reply to: Sammamishman

That's one that I would have loved to be a fly on the wall for. I wonder where it finally came down. Depending on the country involved that could technically be an act of war.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Yeah. I hope for our sake it's in the ocean somewhere. If not, then somewhere I can find it.

a reply to: Sammamishman

Strap that sucker onto your car and crank it up.

hmmmm... I googled "mimic antigravity" and this is what popped:

emereo.net...

anyone feel free to translate that to general english for us?

Oh its not online and never will be as long as its a secret. Lol

a reply to: boomer135

Doh!! I get it now. My reading comprehension skills are lacking sometimes. I know where the picture is and I think you are probably right for as long as its secret it will not get posted on line.

Their experiment involves a ring of superconducting material rotating up to 6 500 times a minute. Superconductors are special materials that lose all electrical resistance at a certain temperature. Spinning superconductors produce a weak magnetic field, the so-called London moment. The new experiment tests a conjecture that explains the difference between high-precision mass measurements of Cooper-pairs (the current carriers in superconductors) and their prediction via quantum theory. They have discovered that this anomaly could be explained by the appearance of a gravitomagnetic field in the spinning superconductor (This effect has been named the Gravitomagnetic London Moment by analogy with its magnetic counterpart).

It demonstrates that a superconductive gyroscope is capable of generating a powerful gravitomagnetic field, and is therefore the gravitational counterpart of the magnetic coil. Depending on further confirmation, this effect could form the basis for a new technological domain, which would have numerous applications in space and other high-tech sectors" says ESA study manager Clovis de Matos. Although just 100 millionths of the acceleration due to the Earth’s gravitational field, the measured field is a surprising one hundred million trillion times larger than Einstein’s General Relativity predicts. Initially, the researchers were reluctant to believe their own results.

Oddly enough, over the years I have heard several rumors of "flying saucer" propulsion drives that center upon a conductive liquid metal [mercury] spun up to incredible speeds.. There may be more to those rumors after all.. wow.

Two words: bank vault. Lol

a reply to: boomer135

Hmmm. Where might that vault be located? Just asking.
