Stratolaunch’s second hangar has been taking shape on the east side of the Mojave Air and Space Port. The massive structure needs to be large enough to house an aircraft with a wingspan of 385 feet (117 meters).

In these photos, we can see the frame of part of the hangar with walls being attached. Two other sections of the frame have been put up that are much further apart, making the hangar wide enough to accommodate the great width of the aircraft.
