European Aeronautic Defense & Space Co. unveiled a model of a jet designed to take tourists into space, rocketing paying passengers to weightlessness at more than 62 miles above the Earth.
EADS said it hoped that the space jet -- which looks much like a conventional aircraft although it is outfitted with rocket engines -- would be operational by next year, with the first flight scheduled for 2012.
