NASA's Biggest Load carrying Super Sized Cargo Plane

The point when NASA needs to ship its outsized space apparatus parts between processing, testing, and launch offices around the nation, there is one and only plane enormous enough, capable enough, and—above all wide enough to do the occupation: the Aero Spacelines Super Guppy. Initially created in 1962 as a successor to the Pregnant Guppy load air ship, the Super Guppy was planned and manufactured particularly with the end goal of shuttling NASA gear around the nation. Five Super Guppies have been inherent all, and the armada has helped move parts for various projects including the Gemini, Apollo, and Skylab missions. The first Super Guppy (the SG) was little more than an adjusted C-97j Turbo Stratocruiser (a mobilized Boeing 377), stretched and enlarged to build its inside load limit it measured 141 feet long by 25 feet wide—with all the more capable motors, greater wings and a bigger tail balance. Still, it could tote 54,000 pounds of cargo at a cruising rate of 300 mph
