Update in greatest span
edit
On April 13 2019, Stratolaunch had its first flight. The plane has longer wingspan than Hughes H-4 Hercules, thus, the graphic has to be changed in order to reflect this reality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Palacesblowlittle (talk • contribs) 02:10, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
Adding stratolaunch
edit
Hello, I've added Stratolauch to the scheme, though I am not able to add it directly to original one yet (account activation needed), so I added it with alternative name:
Whenever my account will be activated, I will fix that and update the original scheme.
P.S. These days (end of May, beginning of June, 2019) there are many talks about Stratolaunch in media, mostly because of Paul Allen deciding to close the company. To allow people to more easily check the claims of Stratolaunch being "the biggest plane in the world" I decided to add it to this excellent scheme.
The sources for the data and true scales were taken from https://www.stratolaunch.com/how-we-launch/ and first image from https://www.spaceflightinsider.com/missions/commercial/stratolaunch-aircraft-makes-1st-flight/. The claims on official website and internet in general, that the tail height is 15m from ground are completely wrong, if everything done in scale from photo images comparing the length, wings span (thats what I did), the true height of the tail from the ground is about 19.5m, 15m is actual physical size of the tale. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nuccy (talk • contribs) 14:07, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
