Man, do you know how long ago it was when I had that brainstorm? I sure don't, but I have a long-standing obsession with the things. It was sort of the
origin of the idea of having our own little manufacturing operation.
That and I can't imagine most commerical aviation equipment is suited to titanium and inconel structures. Kind of specialty stuff.
Also, Mal? The RD-58's kind of a dog. Surely we can get ahold of an RD-0205, RD-0210 or something to copy? They're a lot closer in size and thrust to
the XLR-99.
