		The Super Guppy is a large, wide-bodied cargo aircraft used for ferrying outsized cargo components.
		The first, the Super Guppy, or "SG", was built directly from the fuselage of a C-97J Turbo Stratocruiser, the military version of the Boeing 377.
		By building from scratch, Aero Spacelines was able to widen the floor of the cargo compartment to 13 ft (4 m).

	B377SG E76-30317: Aero Spacelines B377SG Super Guppy on Ramp Loading the X-24B and HL-10 Lifting Bodies.
		The Aero Spacelines B377SG Super Guppy was at Dryden in May, 1976, to ferry the X-24 and HL-10 lifting bodies from the Center to the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
		The Super Guppy was succeeded by the final version of the Guppy aircraft, the B377SGT Super Guppy Turbine, built from 1970 to 1980 for Airbus Industrie to airlift large sections of Airbus jetliners from various manufacturing plants in Europe to the final assembly plant in Toulouse, France.
		The fourth and last of the Super Guppy Turbine aircraft was obtained by NASA Johnson Space Center from the European Space Agency in late 1997 to ferry outsize components of the International Space Station from their manufacturers around the world to launch sites in preparation for sending them into orbit.

		On November 10, 1944, Engineer Hans Hornung brought the initial design phase of the final variant to a close by handing over all documents and design data to the Construction Bureau.
		The selection of the construction materials was begun shortly thereafter on December 4, 1944, with component manufacturing commencing under the direction of Mortiz Asam(who, after the war, helped design the Aero Spacelines "Super Guppy" for the US).
		A time-saving, yet risky approach was tried on the final version of the Me P.1101: Production was to run parallel with statistical calculations and with detail construction.
