Why this aircraft matters
This aircraft served as a flying launch pad for LauncherOne rockets. Virgin Orbit converted it from a passenger jet to a mobile spaceport. It carried rockets under its port wing and released them at altitude to reach orbit. This enabled flexible satellite launches from standard runways.
N744VG began life with Virgin Atlantic. Virgin Galactic acquired it in 2015. Virgin Orbit then used it for years of test flights and commercial missions.
This model captures a rare chapter in aerospace history. It shows a civil airliner repurposed as a space-access platform. It reflects a bold step in satellite launch innovation.
You hold a model that tells the story of air-launch ingenuity. It stands for creativity in aerospace.
How to use it
Position it prominently on your desk, collection shelf, or showcase. Use the included stand to depict the aircraft in flight or set it on the ground with landing gear displayed. No tools, glue, or painting is necessary; this model is ready for display straight from the box.
This is a diecast model and it is fragile and not recommended for children.
