Has anyone noticed that if you took two Coronado 27's, cut off the topsides
and glued the hulls together at the waterline, it would exactly duplicate
the Bell X-1 experimental rocket plane?

That's right! The BELL X-1, designed to go beyond the sound barrier! That's
because the Coronado 27 is designed to go beyond the conventional hull speed
barrier. The keel won't stall at any speed and is efficient in the most
turbulent of regimes! There's no buildup of pressure waves on that hull
form, it will slice through the water with the utmost of efficiency at any
speed - and that's no bilge!

Here's to the Chuck Yaeger of sailing - Simple Simon! Yes, it's true that
the Johnson Space Center is currently designing a new rocket plane based
upon the modifications that Captain Neal has performed on his Coronado 27.
Why if Captain Neal didn't have pressing sailing engagements, he'd fly the
prototype rocket plane himself. Don't believe me? Then go check the pics of
Cappy's fine blue water cruiser when it was on the hard and you'll see for
yourself.

No it isn't! My flight instructor has a test model that I helped him
hang in his living room. He makes Yeager look meager... ;-)

The Bell X-1 was a poor design. It took Bell years to realize that
swept back wings were needed to easily make the transition to
supersonic speed. The scientists of the Third Reich knew this twenty
years earlier.

He speaks the truth Katy, After WW11 we imported all that German
talent. One of the main reasons we put man on the moon first. However
body of the X1/hull and wing designs are two different subject.

What Horvath is saying is that if Captn Neal wants to go supersonic
in his coranado he will have to re-design his sails to a more swept
back delta configration.

No...he's oemone else entirely...unfortuantely, Neal is a real =
person...would be much better if he was someone's invention...

The X1 was designed in the UK!
