First and foremost there is technically no engine called a 747 engine , those engines on the stratolaunch though taken from old 747 -400 planes are Pratt & Whitney PW 4000. .I think the mother ship launcher model of deploying space bound vehicles is coming a bit late taking into cognizance that giant strides SpaceEx Falcon rocket have made on ground based launch pads , this Statrolauncher seems a bit late to the party even though it holds promise of greatly reducing propellant cost associated with ground launches but I don't see it trumping Falcon rockets in overall pros. 11 Likes |

I don't want to imagine what will happen if the pilot in the left part of the plane steers left and the one in the right steers right. 20 Likes 1 Share |
