This is kind of a diptych with the VABN-P/C, which represents a less aggressive design that could be built with near-future materials science. Eodelphinus, on the other hand, is a product of an economy that can nanomanufacture large parts out of exotic carbon allotropes and high-entropy alloys.
The VABN-P/C, a ballistic rocket+ramjet worked design for SSTO spacelift on Titan - Saturn's largest moon - that I commissioned off of @attritionmaxxer.bsky.social. 42 tonnes/128pax(economy) to Low Titan Orbit, with a klick a second of delta-v to spare.

It is really insane how much you can get out of really tiny wings on Titan. The fruits of Luna-esque gravity and an atmosphere thicker than Earth's...

83 tonnes on the runway, 128 economy passengers to low Titan orbit with a klick of dV to spare. Wings are sized for 3000km crossrange - with the TBCC it can takeoff from a runway at the polar lakes, dogleg down to the equator for ascent to low-inclination orbits, and still return to its launch site.

Often thinking about the pizza delivery Minuteman blast door. A celebrity to me.
