Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen unveiled the world's largest aircraft on Wednesday.
The massive plane rolled out by Allen's aerospace firm, Stratolaunch Systems, features the longest wingspan of any aircraft ever built, according to Popular Mechanics.
With a wingspan of 385 feet, the six-engine plane will be larger than Howard Hughes' 1947 H-4 Hercules, known as the 'Spruce Goose,' and the Antonov An-225, a Soviet-era cargo plane originally built to transport the Buran space shuttle that is currently the world's largest aircraft.
The Stratolaunch is an aircraft that is designed to carry rockets between its two fuselages.
Images of the mammoth plane, nicknamed the 'Roc,' were released Wednesday.
It shows the plane emerging from its hangar in California's Mojave Desert.
The plane was built by Scaled Composites, an aerospace company founded by Allen's partner in the Stratolaunch project, Burt Rutan.
It is designed to carry a maximum takeoff weight of 1.3million pounds, according to The Verge.
The plane rolls around with the aid of 28 wheels. Once airborne, it is powered by six 747 aircraft engines.
