White Knight Two, the 'Mothership' for SpaceShipTwo, completed its maiden flight on Sunday, December 21, moving Virgin Galactic one step closer to becoming the world’s first commercial “spaceline.” The twin-fuselage aircraft being developed by Scaled Composites reached an maximum altitude of 16,000 feet during the 59-minute flight, which took place at the Mojave Air and Space Port at 8:16 a.m. PDT, following successful taxi trials earlier this month. White Knight Two is scheduled to appear next summer at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
