The wings are attached using hinges. The lower wings fold up to the horizontal for landing, and the landing gear legs fold out. In flight, the
lower wings are adjusted to a 45-degree angle.The rear engines have attitude jets on the top, bottom, and sides. There are also attitude jets facing down in the nose.

- Planetary Research Vessel
- This vessel may look like a fighter, but rest assured it is completely peaceful. Honest. Really.
The things that look like guns? Oh, those are for drilling rock samples from asteroids. And those six missiles? Those aren’t missiles, they’re

Really, totally peaceful. No warlike intentions. I mean it!
