The Chinese company Space Transportation is developing a “rocket with wings” for space tourism and point-to-point travel.
“We are developing a winged rocket for high-speed, point-to-point transportation, which is lower in cost than rockets that carry satellites and faster than traditional aircraft,” the company said in a recent interview with Yicheng Times.
The space plane would aim to provide rapid transport between two locations on Earth through suborbital travel and be fully reusable. A video presentation on Space Transportation’s website demonstrates the ambitious plans. It shows animated passengers boarding a plane attached to a wing powered by rockets.
