Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo mothership WhiteKnightTwo moved down a runway during a low speed taxi trial at Mojave air and spaceport on Friday 12 December at about 1500h local time.
Under its own power from its two inboard Pratt & Whitney Canada PW308A engines the four-engine experimental aircraft went to the end of Mojave spaceport’s runway 30 turned around and went back to its designer Scaled Composites’ hangar. Airport crash trucks had been positioned on either side of the runway, indicating an imminent taxi trial.
