Laser testes ved Mojave Space Port - The War Zone

 

One of the two Scaled Composites stealthy Model 401 "Son of Ares" jets was spotted recently landing at the Mojave Air and Space Port fitted with a still curious, but now familiar ventral pod installed under the forward section of the fuselage. A whimsical depiction of a shark with what appears to be a laser strapped to its head – a reference to a well-known scene from the 1997 Mike Myers spy comedy Austin Powers – indicates it is related to a directed energy system of some kind. This is exactly what The War Zone, which was the first to report on this modification nearly two years ago to the date, had previously posited, as you can read more about here.
