Summary

Description
English: Super Guppy, bigger sister of the aptly named Pregnant Guppy, was the only airplane in the world capable of carrying a complete S-IVB stage. Both aircraft were built by John M. Conroy, who started with the fuselages of two surplus Boeing C-97 Stratocruisers, ballooned out the upper decks enormously, and hinged the front sections so that they could be folded back 110 degrees. Super Guppy flew smoothly at a 250-mph cruising speed, and its cargo deck provided a 25-foot clear diameter.
