does anyone have a saved copy of that powerpoint?the link is not returning anything.
So so far we've got Northrup Gruman (probably winged?) and Masten (what's their preferred architecture?)Anyone else?
No Lockheed or Boeing then, that's a bit surprising.

And VTVL, like God and Robert Heinlein intended, is a pretty safe bet for Masten.

I think Jess was talking about 3-6 players for Phase 1, so I expect we'll see at least one other team show up over the next several days/weeks.~Jon

I'd put my money on one of them being Lockheed judging by their seeming interest in this area.

I'm thinking we'll see at least one other dark horse small company win, and then the rest going to more traditional players.~Jon

The artist concepts of XS-1 is what XCOR plan to do with Lynx III but on larger scale.
It maybe the best for XCOR, they need to focus on getting Lynx 1 operational.
