Boeing and Virgin Galactic will construct new motherships<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A joint venture between Virgin Galactic and a Boeing subsidiary, Aurora Flight Sciences,<\/strong><\/em> will produce new carrier aircraft for Virgin Galactic’s suborbital rocket flights. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

According to the deal, Aurora will construct two next-generation twin-fuselage aircraft at its facilities in Bridgeport, West Virginia, and Columbus, Mississippi<\/strong>, with final assembly taking place at Virgin Galactic’s site in Mojave, California. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virgin had looked at a number of potential partners but ultimately chose Aurora due to the latter’s experience in designing and producing <\/strong>new aircraft as well as its direct access to Boeing’s know-how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aerospace Systems President Swami Iyer continued,\"We have access to the best of the American aerospace ecosystem thanks to Aurora.<\/strong> \n\nAs a division of the biggest aerospace firm in the world, Aurora<\/strong> has access to some of the best engineers and production facilities.\"<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
