Sneak Preview #1
A sneak preview of the SOS 333 ST and 962 ST chassis in the top version. The chassis is made out of a composite of carbon fibre and aluminium honeycomb sandwich panels with a weight of under 90 kilograms/198 pounds.

The shown chassis is subject of a redesign and recalculation for a more competitive result. The manufacturer actually is not deter- mined, maybe we choose the NASA.

Announcement and Sneak Preview #2
The reason why Ontonics developed the HyperWiper™ for SOS: The B!

The design is subject to harmonization with the 333 ST Barchetta and the SOS identity. Reservations can be done as usual by sending an e-mail to b@styleofspeed.com.

Clarification
No, Style of Speed won't take the white-black overall design style for cars. It is even not decided, if we take rims with 5 part segmentation for our street legal cars. Hopefully, all bandwagon jumpers have understood these cases now and forever.

Investigations/Inspired by Us™

KTM: A design project by the Fachhochschule Joannaum shows a light vehicle propelled by a gas turbine that is carried in the air by three oil pressure driven rotors, as well as an electrically-powered urban motorbike/citybike that combines the best of both trial and BMX bicycles and would inspire to bring out the best in users. It is thought, that the shown concepts might enhance KTM's progression efforts and make the brand become even more distinctive.
But not by further stealing our brand's identity and concepts.

Lego: The Technic product line has now a category named Speed.

Investigations::Car #51

Porsche: There are the first expected rumors for a successor of the 356. Porsche played smart in the last months, but we do know since years (summer 2005) that they are spying and stealing as every other car producer.

Porsche→Volkswagen→Audi: Suddenly the old R3 concept comes into play again.

Fiat→Maserati: The design of a Maserati GranTurismo MC concept is astonishing looking like our SOS Raptor, especially the announced new front bumper, the black headlights, and the overall design.

We are observing this subject/car since the beginning. What attracted our attention at that time were the headlights, the three air outlets of the front fenders, and the rear bumper of the standard Maserati GranTurismo.

Question of the Day
How can a company choose Estoque for the name of a product, if the brands mascot is a bull? Oh my dear!!!

Investigations/Inspired by Us™

ATR Group: A real leader doesn't have to write off.

Investigations::Car #52

Peugeot: Der 908 HY erhält eine Leistungselektronik zur Steuerung der Energieströme zwischen den Batterien und der ins Getriebe integrierten Elektromaschine. As we said, this was described earlier by us as the ECAN/EnergyCAN/PowerCAN/Energy-Bus concept (see also the point Porsche of the Investigation::Car #44a from the 4th of September 2008).

Porsche: As expected: Porsche delivers a special edition of the Cayman (S Sport) in GT3 look. This poses the question, why they haven't named it Cayman (S) Speed directly.

Sneak Preview
A sneak preview of an upcoming e-paper technology, which is able to display coloured and video contents.

© Royal Philips Electronics→Liquavista
This kind of technology will be used for our OruKami™@Home, OruKami™, P@d™, RFIDWall™, e-door™@Home, e-door™@Car, e-dashboard™, and E-paper Card™ solutions (take a look also at the innovation pipeline of Ontonics. The manufacturer actually is not determined, maybe we choose Philips, Fujitsu, an other company, or most interesting our own lab-brewed technology.

Further steps
We're thinking about a new name like 3!, 3B!, or :B for the 333 ST Barchetta.

Investigations/Inspired by Us™

Royal Philips Electronics→Liquavista: The company suddenly suggests the application of the e-paper/displays in the automotive sector, too. This sounds as our e-dashboard and e-door@Car solutions. What they have missed to mention are the nautical, aeronautical, and space applications.

Comment of the Day
The Single Stage To Orbit (SSTO), Space Transportation System (STS), Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV), National AeroSpace Plane (NASP), Orbital Space Plane (OSP), and Hypersoar concepts are right, the realizations are (very) wrong.

Investigations::Car #53

Porsche→Volkswagen→Audi: In a television advertisement a car is shown that isn't faster than its shadow, but as its reflection. The slogan "Immer 1 Schritt vorraus" "Always 1 step ahead" also is familiar to us and sounds like some kind of our slogan "2 steps ahead"™. The two (one) corporation(s) are (is) convicted once again.

Simbol Design: The company thinks, that the market is a self-service market especially made for it.

Investigations::Aerospace

Lockheed Martin: In 2006, the company filed a patent (US Patent and Trademark Office 20070187550) about "Integrated inward turning inlets and nozzles for hypersonic air vehicles".
We are disagreeing the patent, because its content describes parts of our copyrighted catamaran hypersonic air vehicle concept and design invented in 2003 for Style of Speed, and shown in the same year and the following years on its website.

Btw.:
1. The reports about the FALCON → HTV-3X/Blackswift program in internet magazines are in parts wrong. We repeat us with pleasure: It is our concept and design!!!™ And, we are the reason for the newly aroused interests by the DARPA and the USAF for hypersonic planes.
2. Lockheed Martin has not asked to use our catamaran hypersoar concept or design, or essential parts of it.
3. The integrated inward-turning inlet and nozzle solution is an outdated technology, so we didn't patent this kind of technology.

In general: After the automotive companies together with its partners have stolen heavily the main technological and design concepts from us, the Christian Stroetmann GmbH, it is now the time for further stealing the indentity. This is done by taking all keywords from our websites and formulate them out in long sentences.

Porsche→Volkswagen→Audi: As usual the company/companies is/are taking everything what it/they need from our corporation. From the press release of the last Audi A1 Sportback concept we have for example: styling, supreme quality, visionary technical solutions, boosting phase, sporty driving style, impressive propulsion, pure electric, purely electrical, styling, virtually classic, striking, homogeneously integrated, slightly wedge-shaped, three-dimensional main headlights in innovative LED technology, new styling, light segments of varying sizes, the front section - the “face”, interplay, third dimension, details [...] seem to be straight out of a jet plane, advanced form and precise function, fabric, contrasting color scheme, familiar design, swift, magnetic ride, driving style, combustion engine, tangible, bred, and sportier style. And furthermore the MMI subject. We qoute: The driver can use his commercially available mobile phone (equipped accordingly) as a car phone, address database, navigation system and audio/video player. At the same time it can be used as a control unit for numerous vehicle systems. [...] additional software, which Audi will provide on the internet [...]. The mobile phone and vehicle communicate via a fast WLAN connection [...]. [...] within the range of the WLAN it can constantly monitor the current status of the vehicle [...]. [...] its navigation software leads him back to the [car]. If the user listens to a song in a certain driving situation [...] [the media player] is entered in an appropriate playlist. The software registers when and where the user prefers to listen to particular songs. This is designed in its entirety as a digital, freely configurable display with no mechanical elements. Superimposed glass elements make the graphics stand out with a three-dimensional look, producing a level of depth which could never be attained using a standard display. [...] numerous other displays can be called up on request, and can be selected via control buttons on the steering wheel. [...] the infotainment display features icons arranged in a semicircle. Content can therefore be communicated visually, enabling it to be grasped faster and more intuitively than pure text.

Ford: We only quote some of the words from a press release: wide speed range, re-calibrated, sporty style, driving style, Style for the Individual, adaptive learning procedures, Titanium, inspired by, enhance further, stylish, new colour scheme, premium quality, contrasting colours and textures, ultra-high quality, contrasting light, The result is very striking, evident, strong, and chromed intakes.

Bayerische Motorenwerke→Mini: It was announced by the company to take concepts from our corporation in the autumn of 2007. With the Mini E, an electrical version of the Mini, the Bayerische Motorenwerke realized this now. And you can guess why it is named Mini E.

Sneak preview #4b
The proposed coolant system and the engine of our Space Shuttle NG X-3033/MagicStar have a very nice feature: The hotter the spaceship becomes, the faster it flies. And, our revolutionary solutions don't need fancy things like Air Collection and Enrichment Systems (ACES). :O

Imagine the hypersonic booster aircraft without the small rocket-powered delta winged manned orbiter Horos.

Ontonics and Style of Speed Further steps
We're looking at a (new) technique, that can be used for spaceship engines and the 0 Gravity 3.0 version. Especially the application of the 0 Gravity 3.0 solution is highly interesting for all swoop bikers, pod racers, as well as land- and airspeeder drivers.

And please keep in mind:
1. Without MHD and PAF generators the Falcon HTV-3X/Blackswift is useless.
2. We are developing a system without the need of fuel. ;)
3. Everything under Mach 32 and 64 km/210 kft is verboten/forbidden. :D

TSTO is dead.

Question of the Day
What about a magneto-plasmo-chemical supersonic unsteady constant volume combustion (scramjet using a detonation wave) engine?

Investigations::Car #55

Abt: Wir zitieren: Technik- und Design-Kompetenz, höchsten Qualitätsansprüchen gerecht wird, reichhaltigen Erfahrungsschatz, designerischer Brillanz, "richtige Riecher", High-Tech-Schmiede, Ingenieurskunst und so weiter.

Asi: The company took as much as possible design elements from our SOS Raptor. Furthermore, it has jumped on our bandwagon by partnering with an artist, who paints for example dragons. We are watching at this company for some time and can declare: No way, there is definitely no imagination.

ESA: The agency is cherishing their bold manner of taking our websites as a blueprint for their website. We qoute: [...] on your desktop, inspiration, and so on.

ESA & Disney: ESA and Disney invite children to explore space with Wall-E. (Sorry, but this to mention here is needed to avoid disagreements with bad media.)
