The X-30 NASP (National Aerospaceplane) was a concept design of a hypersonic x-plane that could reach orbit in a single stage. The target design would be equipped with a scram jet, but the final design likely a combined cycle turbine-scramjet integrated with a rocket.

This is an SSTO rehash of my previous X-30. It uses 7 zero-bypass turbjets and 6 aerospike rockets to reach orbit.

Use both rockets and turbojets to takeoff. The vehicle is capable of 300 tons to orbit
