Introducing our proud collection named “NASA Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft” you should not miss.

The main modification to the Boeing 747 SCAs was the addition of a mounting structure atop the aircraft fuselage where the Space Shuttle orbiter was attached for transport. This structure allowed the Space Shuttle to be carried piggyback-style. The SCAs also featured strengthened fuselages and additional structural modifications to support the weight of the Shuttle. NASA 905 was the first SCA, and it was originally a Boeing 747-100 purchased from American Airlines. NASA modified it in the late 1970s to carry the Space Shuttle. It performed its first flight with a Space Shuttle on its back in 1977.
