The Vss Unity is an aircraft that can take some small amount of passengers to the edge of space, try ZERO gravity and retern to Earth. In July 11th, 2021, the Vss Unity took Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group, on a space journey and safely returned. The plane has a unique feature which is the trim feather, it is used to add drag during the re enter stage to slow the aircraft down, it can be activated by Trim Down. Also, the engine of the aircraft is not fired by throttle, instead, it is activated by AG1 and can push the aircraft to an incredible speed. AG2 and AG4 are two gyroscopes to help stabilize the aircraft, that is all!
