Virgin Galactic aircraft returns to flight (SpaceNews)

The carrier aircraft for Virgin Galactic's suborbital spaceplane made its first flight in more than a year Feb. 15.

That will be followed by a research flight for the Italian Air Force under a contract signed in 2019. Those flights will be the first for Unity since a July 2021 suborbital flight that carried company founder Richard Branson and several other Virgin Galactic employees. It will be reunited with the VSS Unity, the company’s SpaceShipTwo spaceplane, to begin a series of test flights that will include an unpowered glide flight and a powered suborbital flight with company personnel on board. Virgin Galactic did not state if additional test flights of the plane are planned in Mojave. She said the “functional check flight” would test the modifications to the plane, including testing how the new launch pylon worked at altitude after a cold soak. Virgin Galactic performed an extensive overhaul of the plane while in Mojave, including replacing the center pylon where the SpaceShipTwo spaceplane is attached.

At 10:57:32, the sound of impact was heard in the cockpit voice recorder. The wind speed was light at 3 to 5 knots. The airport was hastily inaugurated and operated without adequate preparations to meet the January 1 project deadline. “The civil aviation body has misused its regulator role to operate the airport neglecting safety requirements. The aircraft reached a maximum bank angle of 30 degrees at this altitude. At 200 feet, the stick shaker ceased. Subsequently, Khatiwada asked KC whether to continue to descend, and KC said it was not necessary and told her to apply a little power. The instructor pilot Captain KC sat on the right-hand seat and was monitoring her. According to the preliminary report, the flight crew had made two flights between Kathmandu and Pokhara earlier in the morning. In that time, the power lever angle increased from 41 percent to 44 percent. Feathering is typically undertaken to reduce drag in the event of an engine failure. In this position, the plane is not being pushed forward and it stalls.
