"STRATOLAUNCH.
...Recently Allen unveiled his biggest project yet, which just happens to be the biggest plane ever built, the Stratolaunch.
With a wingspan reaching 385 feet the Stratolaunch exceeds the Spruce Goose’s previous record by 65 feet.
This massive twin-fuselage jet is designed for the purpose of carrying rockets which will launch satellites into space.
“Over the coming weeks and months, we’ll be actively conducting ground and flight line testing at the Mojave Air and Space Port. This is a first-of-its-kind aircraft, so we’re going to be diligent throughout testing and continue to prioritize the safety of our pilots, crew and staff. Stratolaunch is on track to perform its first launch demonstration as early as 2019.”
