Description
Side View of my design of X-49 the Aerospace Fighter with its Twin External Tanks (TETs) on the airplane as Boeing 767, Boeing 777, or Galaxy C-5.

In the early 1980s, after reading the Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, and Discover magazines and aviation books about X-15 that flew in the highest altitude at the edge of Earth’s atmosphere and fastest speed and X-20 Dyna-Soar that was developed in 1959 but later canceled in 1963, I have drawn my own designs of the reusable delta-winged fighter or plane that looked like Today’s modern jet fighter in space. It was required to use the twin jet engines in the air and a single main rocket engine in space. Like our space shuttle’s external tank, it needed the twin external tanks to make an aerospace plane boost into space. Like special Boeing 747 carrying our space shuttle orbiter, Boeing 767 or C-5 Galaxy was needed to carry an aerospace plane and its twin external tanks for taking off the ground. I later called the aerospace fighter X-49.
X-49 is designed to carry one or two passengers in the air and space. It could stay in orbit for up to four days. It could have food/water supplies, life support system, and mini-lavatory (zero-gravity toilet). Like our space shuttle orbiter, X-49 has its thrusters and heat shield tiles. Like an airplane, X-49 has its flaps, elevations, and rudder (air brake).

X-49 could be used for experimental, classified spy, or satellite repair missions. Of course, it may be a fictional aerospace fighter X-49 for making of my future graphic novels.
