It has a propeller, so it is clearly suited for atmospheric operations. But how or where do you take off and land? Tailsitter?

Through the Force?

Catch a hook under Cloud City and get winched up into a hanger?

That makes the most sense 👌

It works surprisingly well.

Has only two pages of "What ifs" such as a Phoenix carrier but get it free before they decide to delete for any reason

Why would it be deleted?
Tony's other works for the AFMC History Office are still available.

So, I was just reading random things when I encountered the the Flashback.

Just randomly making up things even if most of the stuff were already in place and that 6th and last post at the bottom is horrifyingly educational ... with notions that extremely large weapons could set entire France on fire ... What we should have here is probably an early itieration of things that were later publicly discussed. Entering Honor Harrington territory with X-ray lazers and so on. Which apparently did not like the atmosphere but then they were not of 65 megatons yield as well. This should then explain the supposed Titan re-entry device because the 8 to 10% of the yield, the useful segment would go through that tip. If RV shapes indeed travel with the pointy head first. Theories have it that it would be tested immediately if there was a renewed period of atmospheric  tests and it would save time and effort if a missile cone was trialled at the same time.

And the aerial bomb version (no doubt to be deployed in a smaller size) would possibly employ a '72 Hanoi style cell of 3 B-52s in a EW formation for much of the penetration and RTB phases of the attack. Taking place in a permissive environment. Or with an escort of SRAM equipped FB-111s clearing the way with a lot of explosions. Had first imagined it would be a 20miles long line running tangentially to touch a circle of safe distance from the target but then assumed it would take a lot hand waving to keep the first two bombs in freefall long enough. So it is really possible that that the B-52s would fly directly at the target, break up formation, sight the targeting point, release and leave simultaneously. Hence the two other shapes and the strong EMP resistance required. Then the question becomes how much penetrative power there would be instead of hitting the (underground) target directly and repeatedly to raise millions(?) of tons of fallout material.

I can even imagine a target for it, that place having become famous later on.

This remains a what-if here instead of going to more serious places where they don't like me anyhow. Interested parties will certainly be told off, I have no doubts about that.

Stumbled upon this at reddit: the "Ferrari Multipla" 



Does not look that bad, reminds me of the BMW Z Coupé?

It's so ugly you can't help but love it..

It must, mustn't it?

I am afraid he/she/it took inspiration from the FIAT Multipla:
