The Stratolaunch Roc made its ninth test flight on 13 January. One of the Stratolaunch Talon-A hypersonic prototypes was attached to it. With him, the giant plane took off for the second time.

The flight took place over the Mojave Desert in California. The impressive colossus stayed in the air for regarding six hours – longer than ever before, writes Space.com. At the same time, the maximum height to which the aircraft climbed was 6860 m.

Features of the giant aircraft

The Roc has a maximum takeoff weight of 590 tons with a suspended payload of 230 tons. The development of the giant aircraft has been carried out since 2011. The American company Stratolaunch originally created it to deliver rockets and satellites into the stratosphere, from where they might then get into low Earth orbit.

In the course of work on the aircraft, the strategy changed. The massive design with six Boeing engines, two side-by-side fuselages and a phenomenal wingspan of 117 m has been upgraded. The aircraft was turned into a carrier aircraft for hypersonic research vehicles.
