Description

This is my speculative design for a possible futuristic space plane.  As a kid, I was very excited that the very first Space Shuttle was named, "Enterprise," but I was later disappointed to learn that the Enterprise was an experimental glider, and was not ever really intended to go into space.  So, when I designed this ship, I took the opportunity to right that wrong, and put the name "Enterprise" on a craft that, (at least theoretically) would be a space-worthy craft.  The stylized red, white, and blue symbol and the red stripes are meant to be a nod to (and precursor of) Starfleet markings.  I'm calling it a Vanta-Class space plane.

That wasn't an intentional design choice, but in retrospect now, I certainly see the similarity.  In a similar vein, I'd love to see a modern show that featured speculative near-future ships like this one.  With modern visual FX technology and modern storytelling sensibilities it could be very cool.
