The wingspan of the aircraft is 117,3 meters. The length of both fuselages reaches the 72,5 meter. Stratolaunch Model 351 226,8 tons weighs, maximum take-off weight - 589,7 tons.
During ground tests Stratolaunch Model 351 dispersed to record speeds for it at 46 miles per hour (74 km / h).
It is planned that small missiles will be launched from this aircraft in the air for their further launch into near-earth orbit. In fact, we are talking about a carrier aircraft.
