Slide up on the VTOL controls to feather the wings up
Using off the shelf technology and surplus F-104 Starfighters mated with Spaceship One's feather wing mechanism, it could be possible to have an off world fighter.
Yes Space Force is a joke, it's like George Washington asking for an Arctic Force to patrol the North and South Poles.

@macca431 I think you're missing the point. Try reading and comprehending, it's an art like walking and chewing gun. Cheers!! Happy Landings!!
@AceMcCloud Totally isnt based off a F-104 in any way. lol
Well, the feathering mechanism really works...?!? Just as it does in RL...which was completely unexpected to me as SP isn’t really RL with real air loads working on actual control surfaces, just computer based approximations as to how those surfaces might react in the air. So, when the feathered plane fell straight down at around 250 mph, I was surprised, to say the least!
@Mostly awww come on it's a joke..Space Force...really?
Stupidly cool!
No
Just
Stop
Trumps vision brought to life, well done Ace
