funny part is it uses refurbished Boeing engines, and is behind the tech curve. satellites have become smaller since this project began and launching into orbit from altitude is a thing now, so Stratolauncher is just a uselessly big plane.

It can launch bigger payloads for cheaper, however.

Of course it uses cheap, easy to find things. It's a proof of concept.

i can only see this thing tearing itself apart if they ever tried to fly it and come in for a landing.
looks like its literally just two planes patched together with duck tape

I machined some bushings that went into that thing back before leaving aerospace. Of all the memes being built at Mojave Air&spaceport, that ones the coolest

it's a real plane designed to launch missiles or something

is there not an engineering benefit for having the rear tail fins as one long singular part instead of 2 separate parts?

It flies 11km high. I don't think your WWII tech era vehicle can shoot it down.

They got dropped from a bomber to kill nearby fighters and then return into the bomber

I literally found out about this thing a few days ago and now it's live.

Me too, I was looking through Burt Rutan's wikipedia page about two hours before they rolled it out, I was pretty weirded out

>>34131369
It was probably just cheaper to design and build two identical fuselages. I heard they bought two 747s to create that thing, the second cockpit cost them nothing ( if they have even installed a fully functional one and it's not just the windows)

>>34127611
THATS A BIG PLANE

That's just how shit works. Go watch any relatively obscure anime, wait an hour, then check /a/'s front page. I guarantee you will see it there. You just get used to this shit.
