Overby Industries
Overby Industries presents Project Helga, a powered flight SSTO Heavy Lift Shuttle that takes off and lands on traditional runways, featuring a hypersonic double delta spline airfoil designed for optimal performance in the upper atmosphere.
Project Helga is a blended wing lifting body design optimised for stable hypersonic flight, but also, designed for stable flight at slower flight envelopes such as landing approach or flying in the traffic pattern.
The airframe features a sleek, aerodynamic shape with a focus on minimizing drag and maximizing lift.
The spline airfoil design allows for efficient flight at hypersonic speeds, making it ideal for rapid deployment of payloads to orbit. With a slight dihedral for stability and a slight canted sweep forward on the trailing edge for a stable high angle of attack re-entry profile, the airframe is optimized for both performance and safety.
