Boeing "Reusable Aerodynamic Space Vehicle" (RASV)

This is kind of landmark study about the feasability of HTO/HL SSTO / rocketplanes. Sled launched, 1*SSME, Boeing 1978. Rene 41 and brazed heneycomb steel hot structure.
Part of a broader stream of studies at varied places that spanned over a decade - Gene Love, Langley 1972, followed by NASA study 1976-1978 called "
Technology requirement for advanced Earth orbital transportation systems"
involving Boeing (Andy Hepler) and Martin Marietta.
Boeing then shifted to SAMSO, later followed by DARPA SCIENCE DAWN and HAVE REGION studies that build test structures.
In December 1982 Boeing chairman Tex Wilson proposed to build a prototype RASV for $1.4 billion
All this stopped dead in the tracks by 1983 Copper canyon, Tony Dupont, scramjets, X-30, Orient Express...
I was wondering where are the technical papers for this one. The competing Rockwell Star-Raker is on line somewhere, but not this one. In fact it is barely mentionned here and there. Is the study classified ? Any help would be welcome (HMXHMX ? RanulfC ? someone else ?)
I would like to have weight and dimensions of the RASV.

Boeing Aerospace Co: Feasability Study of Reusable Aerodynamic Space Vehicle (RASV)

Is that report classified ?

I posted some RASV links here:

You can also find HMXHMX's comment on RASV in that thread.

Thank you. Seems that
Rene 41
alloy is one of the few ways to gather informations on the RASV. It was Dynasoar legacy at Boeing through Andy Hepler.

There are images of the Boeing RASV concept as utilized as part of design studies under the program
Science Dawn
:

I've also attached photos of the structural test article built by Boeing for the RASV concept as part of
Have Region
for convenience.
