This was an experimental rocket fighter interceptor designed to be able to respond as quickly as possible, with a speed rivaling North American's X-15, though complication with the rocket and the lack of funding for the project led it to being cancelled (activator 1 for landing light, activator 2 for drouge chutes, Trim to rotate nose cone, and VTOL to open weapons bay)
