Northrop Grumman Corporation Plans to Build a Plane That Could Fly through Venus’s Atmosphere
It has been reported that a Virginia-based aerospace company is planning to build a plane that will be able to fly through Venus's atmosphere by 2021.
In the race to enter NASA’s New Frontiers planetary science competition, Northrop Grumman Corporation is developing the inflatable, propeller-powered aircraft for a years-long cruise in the skies of Venus, Space.com reported.
The plane will have almost twice the wingspan of a Boeing 737. It is a part of the Venus mission concept called Venus Atmospheric Manoeuvrable Platform (VAMP).
