Why Every Surface Matters
1
Precision over decoration
Every contour is calculated for minimum drag at Mach 2.04 — not one exists for aesthetics alone.
2
Heat dictates form
The white fuselage is thermal engineering — dark paint would force the airframe below Mach 1.3.
3
Silence through geometry
The ogival delta wing reduces sonic boom intensity by forty percent through planform shaping alone.
4
Weight is the enemy
Each kilogram removed saves twelve litres of fuel per transatlantic crossing — a relentless calculus.
