Nice job! It's not the futuristic design of Daniel Simon's "Darkstar" or Rodrigo Avella's "Aurora": and thinking out loud: there's been two schools of thought regarding potential aircraft of this type: would they go super high tech and exotic (read: expensive) or would they save money by making it simpler and more brute force? The "hunting the fastmovers" guy seemed to think it was brute force and simple: augmenting fast jet powerplants with rocket boosters and gliding like a space shuttle. He though it had a snubbed nose. There was a picture of a fast craft taken in the Smokey Mountains that sure looked similar to what you've designed that was taken back in the 1990s I believe.
