I can't give any specific details that are included in the embargoed information we were given for today's Virgin Galactic press conference but I can say that if you like the 1960s era NASA/USAF X-20 Dyna-Soar vehicle then you will like SpaceShipTwo

Source: NASA - this shows a mock up of the X-20

While its carrier aircraft White Knight II retains the general (in the widest sense possible) layout that White Knight I had but with an interesting change that will make sense as soon as you see it

For all the details and all the pictures go to www.flightglobal.com at 1000h EST (1500h GMT) today and come back to this blog for a posting that contains ALL the images provided by Virgin Galactic
