Bluebird Scout is the atmospheric miniature of the starship — it started as a pure bird-wing and evolved into this biplane. Also keep the hypersonic / scramjet fighter family (B-1B / B-21 / F-19 / Mach 6+, plasma sheath, RCC edges) and the twelve-engine air taxi with a ballistic parachute.

Lineage is clean: Bluebird Starship → Bluebird Scout (bird-wing) → tip-joined biplane.
Hypersonic set stays as a separate thermal-protection problem — plasma sheath plus RCC leading edges, Mach 6+.
Air taxi is the urban lift: twelve small electric engines, ballistic chute as the last-ditch. Aircraft section closed.
