Stratolaunch Roc
The widest aircraft ever built — a twin-fuselage giant that launches rockets
Tail number N351SL
The story
The largest wingspan of any aircraft ever flown — 385 feet, wider than a football field is long. Roc is two fuselages sharing one colossal wing, built to carry hypersonic test vehicles to launch altitude. It flies rarely, from Mojave, and every flight is an event.
Fun fact
Roc's wingspan beats the Spruce Goose by 65 feet — and it taxis on 28 wheels.
