@DickHBox Oops. UTA built the last 2 of 5, & NASA bought the last to be built.

[DickHBox]

@CZrv4 All the SG fleet had turboprops. The first had Pratt & Whitney T-34-P-7 engines, the next 4 had Allison 501-D22C engines. Only 5 were built.

@sneakers55 Nope. That was built by UTA Industries in France, as was the 3d in the fleet.

@fireballproducti0ns How can we get a big, light cylindrical object from A to B, that's too big to go by land. Simples.

@454jags Aero Spacelines. The first was built from an existing C-97J Turbo Stratocruiser (the military version of the Boeing 377) fuselage, with modified tail & wing surfaces & upgraded P&W engines. The second had the larger fuselage built from scratch, using the wings, tail, cockpit & main-gear from a C-97, & Allison engines. The crew-cabin was pressurised, so it had a higher cruise altitude. Airbus bought the right to build it, & UTA Industries built 2 more.

Lol. He falls at the end of the video. Seriously, who the hell would get THAT close to a landing plane.
