>>31162 A little extra wing area goes a long way.

>>31162 Oh yes, very impressive!
Not useful, though, but impressive none the less. I wonder how much inside has been removed to make it that lightweight..maybe tuned the engine too? And I bet there was a strong wind that day!

>>31116 Wow, that is quite a difference. The Spruce Goose even has a greater wingspan.

>>31113 I guess so and also see no comparison to the B-52.
>>31114 Yeah, with the explosion on lift-off from their last attempt, this plane better be far away when the rocket engines kick in.
