Any evidence this project ever existed? Dan100 (Talk) 18:57, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes - [1] The photograph in the wikipedia article is a photoshop of the only declassified picture of the full scale model on the RCS test rig. There is some speculation (in the New Scientist article and assorted online forums) as to whether a prototype was build and secretly flown but as far as I know there is no evidence to support this.

I could find no other photograph and no reference to it anywhere. The confusion may be that the photograph in the article is a photoshopped image of the only declassified photo. The artist has taken the original, turned it upside down and put in a fake background - you can see the test rig in the picture. DavidWP 16:33, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
