It
was
vaguely
reminiscent
of
the
space
shuttle
except
that
the
top
had
been
shaved
off
,
leaving
it
perfectly
flat
.
Parked
there
on
the
runway
,
it
resembled
a
colossal
wedge
.
Langdon
’
s
first
impression
was
that
he
must
be
dreaming
.
The
vehicle
looked
as
airworthy
as
a
Buick
.
The
wings
were
practically
nonexistent
—
just
two
stubby
fins
on
the
rear
of
the
fuselage
.
A
pair
of
dorsal
guiders
rose
out
of
the
aft
section
.
The
rest
of
the
plane
was
hull
—
about
200
feet
from
front
to
back
—
no
windows
,
nothing
but
hull
.
"
Two
hundred
fifty
thousand
kilos
fully
fueled
,
"
the
pilot
offered
,
like
a
father
bragging
about
his
newborn
.
"
Runs
on
slush
hydrogen
.
The
shell
’
s
a
titanium
matrix
with
silicon
carbide
fibers
.
She
packs
a
20
:
1
thrust
/
weight
ratio
;
most
jets
run
at
7
:
1
.
The
director
must
be
in
one
helluva
a
hurry
to
see
you
.
He
doesn
’
t
usually
send
the
big
boy
.
"
"
This
thing
flies
?
"
Langdon
said
.
The
pilot
smiled
.
"
Oh
yeah
.
"
He
led
Langdon
across
the
tarmac
toward
the
plane
.
"
Looks
kind
of
startling
,
I
know
,
but
you
better
get
used
to
it
.
In
five
years
,
all
you
’
ll
see
are
these
babies
—
HSCT
’
s
—
High
Speed
Civil
Transports
.
Our
lab
’
s
one
of
the
first
to
own
one
.
"
Must
be
one
hell
of
a
lab
,
Langdon
thought
.
"
This
one
’
s
a
prototype
of
the
Boeing
X

,
"
the
pilot
continued
,
"
but
there
are
dozens
of
others
—
the
National
Aero
Space
Plane
,
the
Russians
have
Scramjet
,
the
Brits
have
HOTOL
.
The
future
’
s
here
,
it
’
s
just
taking
some
time
to
get
to
the
public
sector
.
You
can
kiss
conventional
jets
good
-
bye
.
"
Langdon
looked
up
warily
at
the
craft
.
"
I
think
I
’
d
prefer
a
conventional
jet
.
"
The
pilot
motioned
up
the
gangplank
.
"
This
way
,
please
,
Mr
.
Langdon
.
Watch
your
step
.
"
Minutes
later
,
Langdon
was
seated
inside
the
empty
cabin
.
The
pilot
buckled
him
into
the
front
row
and
disappeared
toward
the
front
of
the
aircraft
.
