Taraya construction and test site location         

It is likely Taraya will be built in Australia, although overseas sites are also under review. Australia is the home of Briggs Aerospace Technologies, so it is considered best to keep the core, initial work and programs under the close supervision which this location allows. 

Having the initial construction in Australia accelerates the program because Taraya is being funded by the "Double your money" program. This will start with the Oceanaleen effort, and the personnel working for Oceanaleen will co-ordinate the pre-prototyping of the Karaya.

Australia can be restrictive politically and this push the build location offshore. If this is the situation the nest best location is North America. The airspace over these three nations has very light laws on Supersonic flight, particuarly Mexico which has no restrictions on supersonic or hypersonic flight: changing a national law - if at all possible - could add several years to the program.

Ironically the initial testing will estblish a fuselage design with a very low sonic boom level, or non-existant sonic boom from aerodynamic configuration. In other words, the Taraya will quickly end up with no audible boom which is the reason for the prior bans or retards supersonic flight - laws developed during the 1960's. If you imagine an aircraft which is travelling faster than sound like a platform diver, the previous aircraft have been the equivalent to a person doing a bellyflop. Taraya will prove the design which is like an Olympic diver - no ripples- or in this case - no sonic boom.

Both the United States of America and Canada have exceptional standards of aerospace engineers in high numbers, adding an additional drawcard. The higgh unemployment in the industry means competitive labour rates are available for production. Either the ARFG or AFG will be be produced in the United States, and the other of the two types of Neecenow will be built in Europe.

In Australia Taraya's initial production would take place in leased hangers. In Australia this would be at a Bankstown or Newcastle locaion, both in NSW. It is faster to hire hanger facilities than wait for equivalent site to be built. It also saves money and permits the team to move to different locations if required. The Taraya's design  means it is quick and easy to produce. It does not require the finese of modern aircraft, which can take decades to build. Taraya will nevertheless be exceptionally strong and powerful; it has to carry less ballast to simulate the AFG and ARFG. 

During this period it will be established if the the program can continue in Australia. Fast-tracked approval is needed for a hypersonic test range between the two locations in Eastern and Western Australia, over central Australia. Failing this the best Hypersonic test range - where Taraya will test the hypersonic airliner engines and other technology - is between Oaxaca, Mexico and Rupert, Canada. Other sites are under review providing fail-safes to the test program. Taraya will be able to be trucked, shipped or fly to any site in the world. The hypersonic test range puts the Taraya, and in future Neecenow and HYT over the remotest parts of the host country.
