Oscar Vinals XLDron Zero Gravity Rocket PlaneJust as Virgin Galactic started taking reservations for the first mass tourist trips into space, designer Oscar Vinals has envisioned a way to make space tourism possible for the day tripper, with the XLDron Zero Gravity rocket plane. The XLDron is an unmanned ultra-high bypass turbofan engined plane that carries passengers up to 35,000 feet before releasing a separate module, the Zero Gravity, from the craft. The Zero Gravity then uses rocket propulsion similar to a NASA craft to take off into near space.1
