SpaceShipTwo's First "Feathered" Flight May 4th 2011
SpaceShipTwo has successfully completed her first "feathered" test flight showing her unique re-entry design. After a 45 minute climb to the desired altitude of 51,500 feet, SS2 was released cleanly from VMS Eve and established a stable glide profile before deploying, for the first time, its re-entry or "feathered" configuration by rotating the tail section of the vehicle upwards to a 65 degree angle to the fuselage.
