  • Worlds Largest Aircraft

    The Stratolauch, the world largest aircraft if it can fly. It's a rocket carrier for the Low Earth Orbital Satalites and Space Mining. Some staggering numbers behind the aircraft.

    Wingspan of 385 feet, longer than an American football field
    Height of 50 feet
    Unfueled, it weighs 500,000 pounds
    Can carry 250,000 pounds of fuel
    Total weight can reach as high as 1.3 million pounds.
    28 wheels
    Six 747 jet engines.
    60 miles of wire coursing through it

    Stratolaunch coming out of its hanger.



    Here is a computer demonstration of how the aircraft will work.

        America has the largest passengers in the world... is there not a certain inevitability they would produce the largest aircraft so they can get from A to B in relative comfort ??

        Everything is self-evident.
