White Knight -- another Experimental AC from Rutan

[Jon Matcho]

There's no shortage of words from many about this great wonder, and I just had to link a picture here from www.space.com. My wife asked me, "You're not going to switch to building a space ship, are you?"

 

 

The White Knight mothership is designated as an Expermimental aircraft.

I wonder if Burt parks it in the sun with all that RED trim???

Maybe not, but he does fly it close to the sun.

Since the white knight and spacecshipone are all carbon (pre-preg, probably honeycomb core, most likely autoclaved), the Tg of these crafts are sooooo high that there are no issues with ANY color of striping.
