A View of Stratolaunch From Space

September 26, 2018 Doug Messier News 3 Comments

We spotted the @Stratolaunch aircraft at the Mojave Air & Space Port in California. Reported to be the largest airplane (by wingspan) ever created at 385 feet, tripling that of a Boeing 737. @PaulGAllen https://t.co/3oFEcWrdGG pic.twitter.com/t7v7ZgpdFy

Neat! Still on the fence about monster air launch, but I’m excited to see it fly!

Says a lot about the quality of the camera on their satellite. That is one enormous bird!

Stratolaunch is building their own FFSC 200 klbf class LH2/LOX engine. Testing (presumably injector/preburners) to start at Stennis in October.
