A guy on reddit looked at all the tech specs and thinks that it can fit in a normal fairing, but with only about 2.5 cm of clearance. That seems awfully tight to me, but I doubt they let things rattle around in there much, so maybe it's fine.

And they might be able to get extra clearance by removing recovery hardware like the parachute packs and cameras. Would love to see if they have been building an oversized fairing for this.

Just to check in with readers of this thread, I'm starting to settle into a pattern of posting stuff. I generally try to post:
Everyone still liking that flow? I still recognize that there are like 5 of us who are really involved in this thread, so I hate to bump it TOO often. (That said, it's not like there are hundreds of NHL or NBA fans around here either, so there are other threads that are similar in scope.) Last edited by DaFace; 06-17-2017 at 12:22 PM.. |
