RE: Let's Fly An Airplane Into Space - [Possibility or Futility?]
The only way a plane can fly into space is if it has a rocket engine, and blasts off at incredible speeds to reach escape velocity. If it does all that, then it is no longer a plane but a rocket :)
That's why the Skylon is called "Space Plane". It hybridizes the normal jet engine and rocket engine. It would take off from the runway as a normal plane, and boooom!! It would attain rocket mode.
Did you watch the short video clip I provided buddy?
Thanks a lot for coming around
