Stratolaunch, the world's largest plane, made its first flight on Saturday. The company ultimately intends to launch rockets from the plane into orbit.

The aircraft was created by the Stratolaunch Systems Corporation, which was founded by the late Paul Allen. The purpose of the plane isn’t normal commercial travel but rather to carry rockets into high altitudes, then launch those rockets from the plane itself. Scaled Composites, which was acquired by Northrop Grummon in 2007, worked on the design and build of the Stratolaunch aircraft. Saturday’s test flight was piloted by Scaled Composites test pilots Evan Thomas and Chris Guarente.
