This flying saucer is from the 2006 superhero comedy film Zoom: the Academy for Superheroes. In order to avoid potential spoilers, the only details this description provides are the craft's history up until the film's events.

On July 8th 1947, an object fell out of the sky just outside of Roswell, New Mexico. The US Military covered up the event, claiming it was a weather balloon. The object in question was not a weather balloon, but was this ship, although it was heavily damaged in the crash. The saucer was given the name FE-12, and was taken to Area 51 for study. However, reassembly and testing of the craft would take place at the even more top secret Area 52. Over the next 15 years, the scientists of Area 52 reassembled the craft as best as they could, with mixed results. The FE-12 took to the skies at a jaw dropping....20 miles an hour, while sputtering, clanking, and even stalling like an old, poorly maintained internal combustion engine. After this, the craft was placed into mothballs, where it sat until the events of the film. Eventually, the craft was brought up to its original specs, and took to the skies just like it did before the crash.

Controls:

Throttle: Main Engine Start (At 0%, the lift engine will lose power, around 10% - 35% will mimic the ''broken'' state of the craft from the film)

Pitch: Move Forward/Reverse (Reversing when moving forward at high speeds will deploy braking)

Roll: Strafe Left/Right (Also allows the ship to show off a neat trick when turbo is active)

Yaw: Rotate Left/Right (Automatic Yaw Braking, when you release the button, the craft will stop itself from spinning)

VTOL: Manual Lift Adjustment (This allows you to manually control how much the ship will attempt to change elevation, Affected by Turbo, Will fight the Automatic Lift Engine when near terrain, can allow the craft to function under water)

Trim: Automatic Lift Adjustment (This primary hover engine will auto adjust depending on terrain conditions, Will fight with the Manual Lift Engine when near terrain)

LandingGear: Raise/Lower Access Lift (Automatically retracts above 15 mph and extends below 15 mph with control offline)
