An air launched rocket for placing payloads in earth orbit comprising a lifting body having a cross sectional shape of an airfoil extending in a spanwise direction between a first and a second wing tip. The lifting body further comprises at least one rocket engine positioned at the first wing tip oriented for propelling the lifting body in the spanwise direction. The air launched rocket is combined with a carrier aircraft which is removably attached to a suction surface of the airfoil.
