Ascender   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) The total Ascender weight is 56 lb, so that with a little technique it can be easily moved from tree to tree and the pedaling or ascending action is very ergonomic. The Ascender can be used on any slope and any size tree, though it is designed for and makes sense to be used on small diameter trees, whose value will be dramatically improved by removing the knots from future wood growth. The Ascender comes supplied with safety harness and line, all belay straps with extras and is designed for years of use. www.futureforestry.com /forestry/products/ascender/ascender.html   (148 words)

Business Wire: Isuzu Stages World Premiere of 2003 Ascender SUV at New York International Auto Show The Ascender's standard 4.2-liter, 24-valve, dual overhead cam aluminum in-line six-cylinder engine generates an impressive 275 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 275 lbs.-ft. of torque at 3,600 rpm, and has already been selected as one of the industry's "10 Best Engines" by Ward's Communications.

Rocket Man Blog: The Ascender   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) The Ascender only weighs 4500 kg (~9920 lb) and it will have to burn ~22 lb/s of fuel thru its RL-10 engine to stay in the air when it is climbing vertically. The Ascender will weigh less than its takeoff weight when it ignites its rocket engine because it will have burned some of its jet fuel to get to 30,000 ft. And a 747’s fuel consumption varies depending on how much weight it is carrying. The biggest problem I have with the Ascender however, is that Bristol Spaceplanes is using a liquid oxygen-liquid hydrogen engine when they already have to carry kerosene to power their turbofan engines. www.rocketmanblog.com /2003/10/the_ascender.html   (2079 words)
