WHY INTERCONTINENTAL SUBORBITAL TRANSPORT VEHICLES AND SERVICES?

First Air Mail Service1918

First passengers flying with the mail

Boeing 247 - first modern airliner

Lockheed L1049 Constellation – set new standard for international air travel

Boeing 747 – Revolutionized international air travel

Boeing 787 Dreamliner – more efficient, but still subsonic (.855 Mach)

Passenger and Mail Train circa 1900

RCI Cosmos Mariner Suborbital Transport (Mach 6)

The history of transportation can be chronicled by one key thesis – Whenever a new form becomes available that is faster, safer, more reliable, and/or less expensive, the new form almost always displaces the earlier form over time. With the exception of the short-lived French-British subsidized Concorde, airliners have been capped at subsonic speeds (.855 Mach) since the 1960’s, and at altitudes (below 40,000 ft.) where adverse weather conditions can affect schedules; making intercontinental flights long, tedious, and often unreliable. When suborbital space transport services become available, this 6 times faster form of air/space transportation will capture much of the elite traveler market from airlines and business jet makers. Rocket Crafters is developing the enabling technologies and flight vehicles to make this a reality within the next decade.

THE INTERCONTINENTAL SUBORBITAL TRANSPORT MARKET

While space tourism represents an important early revenue source, this activity is considered minor compared to the potential of the intercontinental suborbital transport market, which is forecast to become a billion dollar industry over the next two decades. The suborbital transport system will evolve, flying passengers and priority goods along suborbital tracks between major destination cities.
