Our 250 metric ton lifting hull and shock rider design uses a combine cycle air breathing rocket. Our recent simulation break though yielded 17 metric tons of useful payload to orbit. It the Isp numbers were based on two white papers, one attached in the link here:

Another idea of mine unrelated to the above is building a lighter than air structure, that is a sky scraper filled with lighter than air gas (not hydrogen). That can be used as a space-gun to launch objects to escape velocity:

The animation produced by this company inspires the hope that the vision may become reality in the Real Universe.
I am looking for Real Universe achievements to be reported in this topic.
Ma Nature will pass judgement on the validity of the concepts in play.
Best wishes for success in turning vision into reality.

Re: The Space Plane Corporation
Recent Update:
Latest Simulation shows more like 5-10 tons to LEO because we need the deorbit burn to return to Earth.
