It seems Radian is still plugging away at its spaceplane, except now it's methalox and has a 'wet wing' for the LOX, with the heatshield providing some of the structural stiffness. You may be flashing back to Venture Star's composite tanks, but these days there are much better composites and automated fibre-winding for tanks. Here's the slides from their FISO presentation: https://fiso.spiritastro.net/telecon/Holder_7-10-24/Holder_7-10-24.pdf

Side note: of course the United States Air Force is in on this.

 

 Thanks for that. I used to listen to those FISO presentations all the time. Sort of forgot about them. Looks like a good detailed presentation of their proposal. Holder is a former Air Force officer so makes sense he would be able to get the Air Force interested.
