If you want to get somewhere fast, this is the ship for you. Though the actual bird has no cockpit and thus cannot output speed or altitude data, we're pretty sure it can break the sound barrier within seconds of lifting off from the futuristic-looking pad with floaties and a thrust beamer that somehow gets it to the bird. This wouldn't work in real life without portals, by the way, but if getting from Bandit to Yeager in seconds is a priority, go ahead and take the messenger bird, to bring a message (i. e.: a gun, which is built in, or a cleaver missile.) If needed, you may add more VTOL engines, more birds (for a full-on relativity-breaking fleet,) or more fuel, for finding the edge of the world. Use THROTTLE to increase thrust. When lifting off, keep throttle low, but in the air, highest speed is only found at max throttle. At least, that's according to Translocation Labs's marketing department. They neglected to paint it any color, and stated that it was "the job of the Consumer to paint the Messenger Bird with their signature colors." Warranty void if exposed to heat, speed, or paint. Just remember that the VTOL should remain at a forward position, unless flipping uncontrollably is a goal of yours.

Do note that the plane, posted a year or two prior to this one, claimed to go a billion miles per hour, was only discovered by me a few minutes after this one, because I searched on the web. Though their intent is the same, the Messenger Bird I'd say is better, due to its tendency to work for longer than two seconds and lift off consistently and in a stable manner.

Removing the gun can improve stability.
