AEROSPACE
High-speed aircraft, propulsion research and scientific mission architecture.
01 / MISSION
Aircraft and spacecraft concepts grounded in engineering.
Starshot Aerospace is a British engineering project at the concept stage. We study high-speed aircraft, rocket propulsion and scientific spacecraft. Our work begins with design requirements and analysis to identify which ideas warrant further development.

CONCEPT STUDY
S-211
A joined-wing concept for supersonic passenger flight.
The S-211 study uses a cranked-delta planform with joined wings. Its preliminary dimensions are 53 metres in length and 21.88 metres in span. The work examines a Mach 1.07 cruise target alongside aerodynamic performance and structural integration.

DESIGN EVOLUTION
Comparing aircraft configurations.
We compare aircraft layouts to understand how the structure, lifting surfaces and propulsion system could fit together. The visualisations show concepts under development. Aerodynamic and structural analysis must establish their performance.

EARLY RESEARCH
HERALD
Requirements and analysis for experimental propulsion.
Herald is an experimental liquid-propulsion research concept. Current work covers requirements, modelling and instrumentation plans. Any future testing would need reviewed procedures and suitable facilities.

04 / DEVELOPMENT APPROACH
Define the question.
Analyse the design.
Test the result.
Our current programmes focus on preliminary design and simulation. Each study records its assumptions and the analysis needed before hardware development. We distinguish design targets from estimates and test results.
Performance-led design
02Common systems and tools
03Evidence before claims
05 / EVIDENCE STANDARD
Clear reporting of engineering progress.
A requirement describes what a system should achieve. An estimate or simulation explores how it might perform. A verified test result records what has been demonstrated under stated conditions.

MÁRQUEZ PROJECT / SPACE SYSTEMS
Planning scientific missions beyond Earth.
The Márquez Project brings together our scientific spacecraft concepts. It explores shared systems and modular payload interfaces across missions to planets, moons and small bodies. These studies remain at the mission-design stage.
