The rollout represents another major milestone in Virgin Galactic's quest to launch the world's first private, environmentally benign, space access system for people, payload and science.
Christened 'EVE' in honor of Branson's mother, who performed the official naming ceremony, WK2 is both visually remarkable and represents ground-breaking aerospace technology.
It is the world's largest all carbon composite aircraft and many of its component parts have been built using composite materials for the very first time.
At 140 ft, the wing spar is the longest single carbon composite aviation component ever manufactured.
