Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer
Scaled Composites Model 311
The Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer was an American performance and sports aircraft with a composite structure, a three-hull structure and a landing gear retracted in flight. The prototype flight took place in 2005, and the aircraft was decommissioned in 2006. Only one copy of this unusual plane was built, which is now on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington.
The Virgin Atlantic Global Flyer was designed by the famous American aircraft constructor - Burt Rutan for Steven Fossett. The only task of this plane was to enable a lonely flight, without stopping, around the world.
