Space Shuttle

How do you make a reusable aircraft that can withstand horrific heat from re-entry (most craft use thermal shields that burn off).

Cover it from head to toe with some high-tech thermal tiles.

There were doubters in Europe that this could really have been achieved.
So the Wrights took the plane apart and took it on tour overseas (France, Italy, and Germany) to show it exists and works (they'd blow the crowds away with figure 8's, low passes, and high cruising).
