📌Nature of the protagonist

Introducing our proud collection named “NASA Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft” you should not miss.

The main modification to the Boeing 747 SCAs was the addition of a mounting structure atop the aircraft fuselage where the Space Shuttle orbiter was attached for transport. This structure allowed the Space Shuttle to be carried piggyback-style. The SCAs also featured strengthened fuselages and additional structural modifications to support the weight of the Shuttle. NASA 905 was the first SCA, and it was originally a Boeing 747-100 purchased from American Airlines. NASA modified it in the late 1970s to carry the Space Shuttle. It performed its first flight with a Space Shuttle on its back in 1977.
