The Stratolaunch was created to ferry rockets and test vehicles to altitude before releasing them. It holds the world record for wing span as well.

This is a variation of BaconRoll's beautiful Stratolaunch. I changed the flight characteristics to make it more weighty and realistic. Now it should feel like you are flying the worlds largest plane. I added flaps as they are now needed to land at reasonable speeds. Stall speed is now 190 MPH IAS with flaps down. I also added a controllable cruise missile, stuffed with bombs, as its payload.

Flaps: VTOL (z,x)
Release Payload: 1
Start Rocket Engine: 2
