|
| |
The aviation blog, FlightGlobal, reports
that Virgin Galactic's WhiteKnightTwo, mothership for SpaceShipTwo,
achieved a significant milestone when it performed a low-speed taxi-test
on Mojave (California) Airport's Runway 30 on Friday afternoon, December
12. The aircraft, which is slated to appear at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh
2009, powered to the end of the runway, turned around, and powered back
to its hangar at Scaled Composites. The blog also includes a short video
showing the twin-hulled, four-engine aircraft moving under its own
power.
