Zonda-Class Spaceplane

The Zonda-Class Spaceplane is a series of 2 unmanned SSTO Spaceplane's that are an evolution of the proceeding Miura-Class Spaceplane.

The Zonda was the result of an extensive inhouse research team put together to improve the Miura-Class Spaceplane. While some of the solutions would lead to the Block II design, and eventually the Block III.

However, one of the most ambitious solutions was an extensive overhaul of the Miura-class space frame. This solution ultimately evolved into the Zonda-Class.

While it may have its heritage in the Miura, the Zonda is a very different craft then its predecessor. While the main fuselage is very similar to the Miura, the Zonda is ultimately much smaller then the Miura.

The Zonda was heavily based on the main fuselage of the Miura-Class, with the most obvious change being the change from the Box Wing to a tailless delta-wing.

This greatly reduced the weight and drag, and greatly simplified the design.
