Video: SpaceShipTwo's First "Feather Glide"

Virgin Galactic has released video of SpaceShipTwo gliding to Earth using a special method of slowing down the plane from any reentry angle. The test flight took place on May 4, according to Virgin Galactic, but the video was just released on Wednesday, May 18. Even though this was the seventh glide flight of the spaceship, this was the first time the tail of the plane was raised in its feather position that will slow it down as it reenters Earth's atmosphere.
