Description
Space Ship One is a suborbital air-launched space plane that completed
the first manned private spaceflight in 2004. That same year, it won the
$10 million Ansari X Prize and was immediately retired from active
service. The mothership is called "White Knight". Both craft were
developed and flown by Mojave Aerospace Ventures. The vehicle first
achieved supersonic flight on December 17, 2003, which was also the
one-hundredth anniversary of the Wright Brothers' historic first powered
flight.
This handcrafted model is painted in the same paint scheme as
the original and is painstakingly built from Philippine mahogany by our
skilled craftsmen. Perfect as a gift for any aviation enthusiast and
history buff!
