Little pocket rocket, 1 to disconnect wheels. Land by gliding to the ground, doesn't word that well, You will most likely flip, land when your speed is at 130 mph. Speed, 610 mph (Estimate). VTOL up for airbrakes. Flaps are trim. As soon as you get lift, disconnect the wheels. For intercepting bombers, this plane was the first rocket plane to be used, but was retired after it wasn't so good at its main role.
