Minotaur

In 2634, Minotaurs are well over 100 years old, so they must have been commissioned in early 2500. Some of them were arrayed at Johnson Island station, McAuliffe.

Action Stations, page 39:

Geoff could not help but look in wide-eyed awe at the vast array of strike power lined up before him, entire squadrons of Hurricanes, Gladiators, Trident heavy bombers, and Hummer light recon and strike planes, arrayed wingtip to wingtip. ……………………… Further back in the rows he could see craft that should exist only in museums, even a few old Minotaurs which must be well over a hundred years old.

Comment:

The fact that Minotaurs were at a ground base with a strip would seem to indicate they are atmo capable fighters. That means, probably more aerodynamic than the Pioneer concept below, IMHO (Monk). I would think of them as large delta wing craft, about the size of a 20th Century Concorde, but ramjet ground-to-orbit capable. Or some cross-breeding between a B1 Bomber and an SR-71…
