Title: Stratolaunch
Post by: Oceaneer99 on December 14, 2011, 08:04:46 PM
Just saw a mention of this aircraft in the newspaper:

http://stratolaunchsystems.com/ (http://stratolaunchsystems.com/)

It's a carrier aircraft for launching payloads into space, sort of Space Ship 1 on steroids.  The carrier airplane would be the largest plane ever built, and would be made from parts of two 747s.  Scaled Composites is the design company.

All based on the great Burt Rutans designs,he has retired but left a legacy of designwork to build upon for the future.
