John, can we have approximate figures for the planned
X Prize flight of the Armadillo vehicle?

The numbers I currently have are the following:

tank volume - 850 gallons
tank weight - 1 lb per gallon
thrust - 4 engines, 1000 lbf each
acceleration time - 95 seconds
confirmed Isp - 140 s

>From above, the take-off fuel weight should be about
2700 lbs, tank weight - about 850 lbs. And the total
thrust of 4000 lbs... the mass budget doesn't seem to
be right.

What am I missing?

Thank you very much,

Alexander
