Global Impact
Their early involvement in this project helps with the development of cheaper, safer and more environmentally friendly access to space for tourism and science.
Virgin intends to use WhiteKnightTwo to test environmentally
benign aviation fuel.
Long term plans include the development of technology
for hypersonic point-to-point flights that would enable people to travel across the world in just a few hours
with minimal environmental impact.
