Aircraft/UFO Status window

What do you think about a Status Window after klicking a UFO or Interceptor.
Containing information like speed, direction, height, size,...
With some sort of "blueprint" of the UFO as graphical improvement. Something like you can see in StarCraft:
This has nothing to do with destroyed engines or something. The pictures should only indicate how damaged the UFO or Interceptor is after a fight.
The picture is made out of segments with green, yellow and red lines and they get exchanged when the unit gets damaged.

We were just planning to do an HP bar. We could color it depending on the value though.

I believe a colored HP bar should do, at least for me.
But having a bit more info on an aircraft when you click on it would be nice, like its name, class, picture, picture and name of its pilot, so on...

Hm, the question is where to implement it. On the interception screen HP bar would be quite cool, but I was thinking about clicking a UFO on the geoscape and there would be a little image more atmospheric.
