The Conroy Virtus was a proposed American large transport aircraft intended to carry the Space Shuttle. Designed, beginning in 1974, by John M. Conroy of the Turbo-Three Corporation, it was to incorporate a pair of Boeing B-52 Stratofortress fuselages to form a new craft using existing parts for cost-savings. While the project was seriously considered, it proved impractically large and NASA chose to develop the Boeing 747–based Shuttle Carrier from surplus commercial aircraft instead.

  • コンロイ・ヴィルトゥスとは、スペースシャトルの輸送を目的としてアメリカで提案された大型輸送機である。ターボ・スリー・コーポレーションに所属するジョン・M・コンロイによる設計開始は1974年の事で、この機はコストを抑えるために既存の部品を用い、ボーイングB-52ストラトフォートレスの胴体部分を一組組み込むことで新しい機体を形成しようとした。本計画は真剣に検討されたものの、実際的ではない大きさが判明し、さらにNASAは、ボーイング747をベースとするシャトル輸送機を、余っている商用航空機から開発することを選択した。 (ja)
