So the bit of wing that joins the two fuselages is made of carbon fibre? Are there any details on how it was constructed? Imagine that thing, fully loaded taking off into turbulent air. Scary.

the plane structure is all carbon/CFRP. you can see in the earlier pictures in the hangar before. http://www.stratolaunch.com/gallery.html http://www.stratolaunch.com/gallery.html the black is cfrp under the white paint. Scaled Composites has some secret CFRP processes of construction which non Americans are not allowed to know about under ITAR regulations, so i cannot tell you haha.
