 <div type="ExtQuote" text="I had imagined this moment for years, but I had never imagined it without Paul standing next to me… Even though he wasn't there today, as the plane lifted gracefully from the runway I did whisper a 'thank you' to Paul for allowing me to be a part of this remarkable achievement." auname="Jean Floyd, CEO of Stratolaunch Systems addressing the press after the successful flight test"></div>

Once the plane takes off, it launched a rocket once it reaches an altitude of 35,000 feet which, in turn, launches satellite somewhere between 500 km to 2,000 km above the Earth. Allen reportedly sunk over $300 million into the Stratolaunch before it finally rolled out onto the tarmac in February last year after six years of extensive work. The first test flight was actually scheduled for 2015 but got <a href="https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/01/paul_allen_stratolaunch_satellite_launch_plane_test/">delayed</a> when Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, pulled out in 2012 to focus on the Falcon 9 launch system.

 This entire system has the potential to greatly reduce the cost of launching satellites into low earth orbit (LEO) by eliminating the need for launch pads and its supporting infrastructure, saving on fuel costs and being more resilient in the face of bad weather. 
 <div type="ExtQuote" text="We finally did it. It was an emotional moment to watch this bird take flight." auname="Jean Floyd, CEO of Stratolaunch Systems addressing the press after the successful flight test"></div>



 But, the Stratolaunch is already facing stiff <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/paul-allens-rocket-launching-plane-is-the-biggest-in-the-world--here-is-how-it-stacks-up-to-other-great-flying-machines/articleshow/59149353.cms">competition</a> from Richard Branson's company, Virgin Orbit, that's scheduled to test its first flight mid-2019 and there are still plenty of bureaucratic hoops for it to clear before it can officially be in the business of launching satellites. Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne service is using a customised Boeing 747-400 which, unlike the Stratolaunch, is already a proven aircraft. Dan Hart, the CEO of Virgin Orbit stated, "We are well on our way towards providing new launch opportunities for small satellites that have waited too long for their ride to space."

Spaceflight-oriented aerospace company Stratolaunch Systems announced that its flagship aircraft, a six-engine carrier ship with two fuselages, will be a launch and test pad for the hypersonic vehicles of the future."Our hypersonic testbeds will serve as a catalyst in sparking a renaissance in hypersonic technologies for our government, the commercial sector, and academia," said Jean Ford, Stratolaunch's CEO, in a statement on the company's <a href="https://www.stratolaunch.com/stratolaunch">website</a>.Departing from its initial intention of launching satellites from the aircraft, according to <a href="https://www.space.com/stratolaunch-hypersonic-vehicles-worlds-biggest-airplane.html">Space.com</a>, Stratolaunch will shift to developing rocket-powered aircraft capable of breaking the sound barrier multiple times over. The aircraft will launch while airborne from what is currently the world's largest aircraft in terms of wingspan.While supersonic aircraft have already been conquered by man, as seen with the legendary Concorde and SR-71 Blackbird, the hypersonic field is still relatively new with few recent advancements. A viable commercial hypersonic aircraft would have the capability of transforming spaceflight, making it more accessible, as well as possibly reshaping long-distance travel on Earth.Taking a page from SpaceX's book, the hypersonics will be reusable and be able to return safely to the surface following each mission. The first aircraft to be deployed will collect valuable data and research the effects of hypersonic flight will future aircraft will have the ability to transport cargo and passengers.Take a look at how Stratolaunch's newest focus has the ability to reshape high-speed travel and spaceflight as we know it.

Stratolaunch Systems CorporationThe Stratolaunch aircraft.For decades, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/china-ukraine-build-antonov-an-225-2016-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ukraine's Antonov AN-225</a> has reigned supreme as the largest plane in the world.That is, until now.On Thursday, Stratolaunch rolled its low orbit launch aircraft out of the company's hangar in the California desert for the first time.With wings spanning 385 ft, it is the world's largest airplane by wingspan - besting the AN-225's 290 ft. wingspan.The aircraft is also 238 ft. long and 50 ft. tall.Like the AN-225, the Statolaunch plane is also powered by six high-bypass ratio turbofan engines. Stratolaunch - owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen - intends to use the aircraft to move forward with its vision to "provide convenient, reliable, and routine access to low Earth orbit."Stratolaunch Systems Corporation"This marks a historic step in our work to achieve Paul G. Allen's vision of normalizing access to low Earth orbit," Stratolaunch Systems Corporation CEO Jean Floyd said in a statement. "We have a lot of exciting activity ahead as we enter the testing process, and we look forward to sharing our progress during the coming months."Ahead of the roll out, Stratolaunch removed the three-story high scaffolding around the plane and lowered the 500,000 lbs. craft onto its 28 wheels for the first time. The Stratolaunch plane is expected to undergo ground tests, engine runs, and taxi tests before ultimately making its first flight.Stratolaunch Systems CorporationThe company plans to use the aircraft as a platform to launch rockets into orbit. Which is why it has a designed maximum takeoff weight of 1.3 million pounds. In fact, Stratolaunch believes the aircraft will be one day be able to deliver as many as three rockets into orbit on a single mission. According to Stratolaunch, the aircraft is on track to perform its first launch demonstration in 2019.Stratolaunch Systems Corporation <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/boneyard-davis-monthan-air-force-base-military-retires-planes-amarg-2017-5">There's a 'Boneyard' in Arizona where most US military planes go to die</a></h3> Please enable Javascript to watch this video
