SpaceShipOne - Replica

Replica

Feathered configuration EAA replica in both feathered and normal configuration.

A year after its appearance in the Oshkosh Airventure airshow, the Experimental Aircraft Association featured a full-scale replica of the spacecraft in a wing of its museum which housed other creations of Burt Rutan. Using the same fiberglass molds as the original, it was so exact in its replication — despite not having any doors or interior — that it was dubbed "Serial 2 Scaled" by Scaled Composites. Each and every painstaking detail in its appearance was matched, down to the N328KF registration number on its fuselage. It is so precise that, during a video presentation held every hour in the museum, it can display the two different modes of its 'feathering' ability, albeit through the aid of pulleys and wires (there is no machinery in the replica).

Another full-scale replica of SpaceShipOne hangs in the rotunda of the William Thomas Terminal at Meadows Field Airport in Bakersfield, a third is on display in the Mojave Spaceport's Legacy Park alongside the original Roton Atmospheric Test Vehicle a fourth is at Paul Allen's Flying Heritage Museum at Paine Field in Everett., and a fifth is on display in Google's Mountain View Campus.
