	Skylon Tower History - BradReese.Com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Skylon Tower, Niagara's most famous landmark, had its origin in 1960 when Bill Hosler, Jim Kiley and Charlie Schmoyer, partners in a real estate development business, became determined to meet Niagara Falls hotel owner George Sainovich and his son-in-law, John Gruyich, who worked with him.
		The Skylon has three high speed elevators riding the outside of the tower on rails mounted on the outside walls of the tower shaft between each of the three legs.
		On October 6th, 1965, the Skylon Tower was officially opened by Ontario Premier John Parmenter Robarts and New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller during a formal dinner gala with dancing afterwards led by the New York Governor's wife, Happy Rockefeller.

	Skylon
		Skylon would be constructed from carbon fiber, with aluminum fuel tanks and a ceramic aeroshell to protect the craft from the heat of reentry.
		Skylon could take 12 tons of payload to an equatorial orbit, or 9.5 tons to the International Space Station.
		Unlike other comparable projects, Skylon is intended to be run by commercial companies rather than government space agencies, resulting in a design similar to that of a normal aircraft with a vehicle turnaround of only two days between flights, rather than several weeks, as with the Space Shuttle.

		Spacecraft use the science and technology of ceramics for heat shields and - with certain specific modifications - the tiles that decorate the walls of your bathroom,and not that far removed from the tiles that protect the NASA Space Shuttle Orbiters on re-entry.
		The Skylon model was built up from many sections of wood, sanded smooth and then coated with resin gel.

	Skylon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skylon is a proposal by Reaction Engines Limited (managed by British rocket scientist Alan Bond) for an orbital spaceplane.
		The Skylon is based on the cancelled British HOTOL project and is conceptually similar to the cancelled American X-30 National Aero-Space Plane project.
		The Skylon design aims to take off from a specially strengthened runway, fly into low earth orbit, reenter the atmosphere, and land back on the runway like a conventional airplane, without staging whilst being fully reusable.

		Skylon does away with the rocket sled needed on HOTOL and is capable of taking off and landing using retractable landing gear.

	Skylon (tower) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mrs A G S Fidler, wife of the chief architect of the Crawley Development Corporation suggested the name Skylon for the “Vertical Feature” that was to be the abiding symbol of the Festival of Britain.
		The Skylon was a futuristic looking, slender cigar-shaped steel latticework frame, pointed at both ends, supported on cables slung between three steel beams.
		Questions were asked in Parliament regarding the danger to visitors from lightning-strikes to the Skylon, and the papers reported that it was duly roped off at one point, in anticipation of a forecast thunderstorm.

	CEC: Closed Canadian Parks - Skylon Tower
		This park was in the base of the still-standing Skylon Tower in Niagara Falls.
		The tower was begun in 1964 as an observation platform from which to view Niagara Falls and the surrounding area.
		The form for it was raised into place by hydraulic jacks and cables, after which concrete was poured and allowed to harden, thus forming the dome.

	Skylon?
		The Skylon vehicle is one of very few vehicles that stands a very good chance of making orbit and returning, single stage, completely intact, and with a very decent payload fraction.
		Also, Skylon would be coming back, and the outer ceramic shell would function as a heat shield for re-entry - something that a throwaway missile doesn't require.
		Also, Skylon uses air-breathing engines for ascent to high altitude and wouldn't need to take a large mass of oxidiser with it - that's the so-called '0.92' rule out of the window.
