Another use of the new Stiletto Model

<< < (2/2)

Nutter:
That probably has something to do with it being a long range supersonic interceptor built with human tech rather than a bastard child of a helicopter and a standard plane or an antimatter powered lump of alien materials.
To be honest, I'm still surprised it doesn't need a three kilometre runway to take off.

jerikojerk:
you're mistaken by the object viewer. Saracems do vertical take-off like a rocket/shuttle  :P

Nutter:

I take that as an implication it is closer to a bastard descendant of a Lockheed A-12 and a Harrier rather than the former and a shuttle.
Not to mention the ammount of headaches I can see resulting from a vertical takeoff out of a standard large hangar.
