Virgin Galactic successfully completed another test flight. Out of curiosity, I looked up the reg.-number N202VG of the space plane. Turns out that it is registered as an Experimental Glider - without an engine! So that massive rocket sticking out the back is not an engine? Hmmm... the possibilities I see now .... Uli 'AS' Obviously, it's a Motor Glider!

Anyone else want to work on a STC for 1-26s... Wow - climb rate of 6,300fpm! I thought the 4,000fpm during the winch launch was a rush - I've got to get my hands on a few of them RATO motors. Thanks for sharing that link! Uli 'AS'
