that is a pic of a plane carrying atlantis can someone please tell me if this is real the plane sort of looks fake but the scenery looks real can
someone confirm this
and why is there a cap on the back?
NASA uses two modified Boeing 747 jetliners, originally manufactured for commercial use, as Space Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA). One is a 747-100
model, while the other is designated a 747-100SR (short range). The two aircraft are identical in appearance and in their performance as Shuttle
Carrier Aircraft.
Yes that is real, it how the shuttle is transported from where ever it landed, to the assembly facillity in florida. It is also one of the main
reasons for thier landing in florida now, so they dont have to fly it across the country.
The cap is to protect the exhaust nozzles and to clean up the inflight aerodynamics.
