Yesterday saw the first flight of Paul Allan's Stratolaunch, the world's largest aircraft. That's a 385 ft wingspan.

Bigger (longer wingspan) than the spruce goose?

Pic unrelated.

Wonder what the track width is. Gotta be some wide runway!

Oh yeah, one for Wally. A school bus in Buenos Aires, most have stuffed animals on the dash, all have white walls. = ~)

I always wonder why Burt doesn't join the horizontal stabs. It would be so much stronger. But I guess he always does things the odd way. I also guess it has to do with payload clearance.

TIL that Rutan designed this, which I didn't know:

Aha! Shiny gold Porsche gets towed for being too shiny. Maybe that's why the Bentley is up.

I suspect that is because it is designed to launch rockets. Rockets make big flame, big flame make horizontal stab go by by.

I think they drop then fire them though, but still, maybe clearance for larger payload or just the chance anything flies back at launch (not seperate cleanly etc).
