Design
The innovative dual-fuselage and high-wing design allow launch vehicles to release from the aircraft centerline and below the wing for a much safer deployment.

Engines
Six Boeing 747 engines allow for a payload capacity of over 500,000 lbs (226,796 kg).

Center Wing
The reinforced center wing provides lift, stability and pylons that can support multiple launch vehicles weighing over 500,000 lbs (226,796 kg), providing access to any inclination for multiple payloads.

Wingspan
The wingspan is the largest of any plane ever assembled, stretching longer than an American football field, including the endzones.

Pretty cool eh!
My favorite of the bunch is the Long Easy, I've seen a few at an airshow and they are really neat kit planes.
