The Boeing 747 as the world's first wide-body commercial aircraft, has always been with "Queen of the air" in the world. As a double-decker four-engine, three-tier aircraft cockpit design, it gives the first impression is: big. Since it entered service in 1970, before the advent of the Airbus A380, which maintained a 37-year-old record of world's highest capacity aircraft.
And now, for Boeing 747lai said that it would be given a new mission--the launch of the rocket. Yes, you read that right, because Virgin Galactic is one such plan. The company recently announced that will be launched into space by a Boeing 747-400 the company's LauncherOne rocket. With recent signing NASA form and the limelight of the SpaceX company fired rockets of different, which does not require boosters take off from the ground, but separated after the plane flew into the air.
The reason for doing so, Virgin Galactic, explained: compared with previous spacecraft, second, the 747-400 use of lower-cost, more convenient to use easy to maintain and operate. And in the last year, the company's second of the spacecraft had crashed in an accident, and led to the death of a pilot. Using the Boeing 747-400, this risk will be much lower.
I'm afraid, even Boeing 747 have thought, when I'm 45 years old, is also able to be developed by humans launch new features. Dolce Gabbana iPhone plus Case
