That's interesting but I can't find a single date relative to this project - not on the website, nor while googling. When is it supposed to be tested ?
Also the amounts of funding mentioned in the article I've found seem ridiculously low (30M ??)
It’s ridiculous indeed, but that’s the budgets science needs to run on. People still don’t understand how fundamental this kind of engineering is for our future
Good thing you posted that, lest the occasional French visitor would run into danger of having to actually learn English instead of the obviously superior French that's more than enough already.
Reminds me a lot of the X-37

Nice video of the concept: https://www.dassault-aviation.tv/vortex_salon_du_bourget_202... (CGI, obviously)
It's 1975 again:

Good ideas never die!

Well, since that is a French project it seems a bit misplaced to blame the French who might want to read about it in French.
Also I'm pretty sure the French here on HN are more than occasional visitors.
Is Europe getting their own space shuttle? That would be a wise idea.
