Default Re: Legendary Aircraft Designer - Burt Rutan on CrazyEngineers to answer your questio
Greetings Sir,

Many thanks for taking out time for us and answering the questions. Please find my questions below-

1. Spaceship Two uses the coveted 'feathered reentry system.' How different is it from other atmospheric reentries. What are the advantages?

2. Lot of things have been said about the safety of the space shuttles, especially after the Columbia debacle. What are the safety measures taken in the Spaceship Two? How do you compare it with other Aircrafts?

Thanks in advance!

Mayur
