Super Guppy Spends a Restful Night in the NASA Langley Hangar: A representative test article of a futuristic hybrid wing body aircraft will be unloaded from our Super Guppy aircraft on Friday, Dec. 12, at Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia.. The large test article, representing the uniquely shaped fuselage cross-section, is made out of a low-weight, damage-tolerant, stitched composite structural concept called Pultruded Rod Stitched Efficient Unitized Structure, or PRSEUS. Langley's Combined Loads Test System will subject the revolutionary carbon-fiber architecture test article to conditions that simulate loads typically encountered in flight.

Our Super Guppy aircraft, designed to transport extremely large cargo, rests after making the special delivery to the Langley. The aircraft measures more than 48 feet to the top of its tail and has a wingspan of more than 156 feet with a 25-foot diameter cargo bay - the aircraft features a hinged nose that opens 110 degrees.
