The Scaled Composites Model 348 White Knight Two (WK2) is a jet-powered cargo aircraft which is used to lift the SpaceShipTwo spacecraft to release altitude. It was developed by Scaled Composites from 2007 to 2010 as the first stage of Tier 1b, a two-stage to suborbital-space manned launch system. WK2 is based on the successful mothership to SpaceShipOne, White Knight, which itself is based on Proteus. IMPORTANT: The SpaceShipTwo is only decoration. A flyable replica will come soon.

0 clipperrideIf you make the pitch control surface on the wing of Space Ship II smaller and add small roll control surfaces to the same wings, it flies quite well for no vertical stabiliser. Nice design.9.3 years ago
