  [15.0] The NASA ERAST HALE UAV Program
The Perseus design effort struggled along on skimpy funds until 1991, when NASA was conducting a "High Speed Research Program" to evaluate designs for a future supersonic transport, and needed to learn more about the possible environmental impact of such an aircraft on the upper atmosphere.
The Perseus-A had a low-drag "bicycle" tandem landing-wheel configuration, with the wheel axles inside the aircraft fuselage, and so the propeller could not clear the ground for takeoffs and landings.
Perseus-B was similar to Perseus-A, but had a Rotax 912 engine with three stages of turbocharging for high-altitude operation, and long fixed tricycle landing gear, eliminating the need for towed launch.

 Social Bookmarking Tools (I): A General Review
By the time the initial development crew had decamped from NCSA [n6] to set up a commercial operation [n7] and built the new, line-in-the-sand Netscape browser, this feature had become reincarnated as Bookmarks.
It became apparent with the growing power of the new search engines that it was easier just to search for a particular site afresh each time – in effect, search engines were now able to provide a dynamic bookmarking service, or bookmarks on demand.
Almost without exception these social bookmarking tools are feature-rich, providing search on both users and tags (with Boolean operators), comments (and comment trails), simple linking syntaxes, and APIs (application programming interfaces) for posting to and from these tools (and to other tools such as blogs).
