The ARCA team is casting the composite negative mold of the E- 111 supersonic airplane cabin.

According to Wikipedia, “A number is a mathematical object used to count and measure.” Admittedly, this does not sound very cool. But wait a minute – perhaps we can change your mind!
As the X Prize teams embark on this new journey of private space exploration, I'd like to take a minute to recognize the fact that several exciting missions are currently being executed by the governmental space agencies.

The positive molds of the supersonic cabin has been entirely covered with aluminum foil. The team is making the final touches, the fiberglass is sized and debiting for composite molding.

Simulation position and velocity of Sun, Earth, and Moon bodies brings errors. An attempt was done to use NASA’s data – some of DEXXX files are available. Minor errors were fixed in the C version of the code (convert.c) done by David Hoffman from a NASA Jonson Space Center. Looks like porting code from Fortran was a source of errors. Some memory was corrupted around R1 and R2 constant (array of 400 elements initialized, but line “for ( i=0 ; i

The ARCA team is preparing the positive molds surfaces of the E-111 supersonic cabin for composite molding that will generate the negative forms. - second part
