The shuttle was tested in the atmosphere of Venus, to ensure that it can land in potentially dangerous environments, such as hard vacuum and in extreme temperatures. It uses advanced environmental sealant technology, which minimizes exposure of vulnerable parts to the elements. While the standard UT-47 is unarmed, one variant of the shuttle, known as the UT-47A, is equipped with a pair of front-mounted mass accelerator cannons for antivehicular combat. Flying a UT-47A during combat is, however, extremely challenging, as the pilot must manage the vehicle's speed and handling, while maintaining enough mass to resist enemy fire and hazardous weather. more...
