Carsten,
Thank you!......You will notice that for NR-2, I have "borrowed" Euronauts tail feathers. This is simply conceptual at this point as I am still investigating options.
Also of interest regarding Euronaut, is the manner in which the forward and aft sections housing your soft tanks, employ "developable surfaces." I still cannot decide as of yet, composites (bend two directions) or sheet metal (bend one direction) over frames. Your arrangement, would allow for two sections of flat plexi for my forward view-port....ala the Nekton Delta.
The real NR-1 has longitudinal hard tanks along the centerline in the box keel. However, for my NR-2 these VBT's cause access problems for a battery pod, so I am looking closely at..... again....Euronauts arrangement.
Just in case you didn't think anyone was paying attention! :)
