Abstract

The F-35X represents a departure from traditional ballistic rocketry, opting for a 5x-scaled blended wing-body (BWB) design optimized for westward trajectories. By utilizing the "Carrier Effect" of the rotating atmosphere, the vehicle maximizes aerodynamic work performed by the Free Range Electron (FRE) field, achieving a payload-to-mass fraction of 18-22%. This document details the structural, propulsive, and thermal engineering required to realize this conceptual craft.
