This version incorporates a VTOL powered craft. Prior to take off push the VTOL slider all the way up so the plane carried aloft contributes to thrust with rear horizontal thrust. Failure to pre-position the VTOL thrusters to face rear horizontal prior to take off will generate a spectacular crash. Once airborne, retract the landing gear. Fly to desired altitude and detach the VTOL craft. Be aware that separation tends to be rough above 60,000 feet, especially upwards of 90,000 feet. It is best to level out first prior to separation. Now the trick is to find that postage stamp of an aircraft carrier upon return. If you prefer a water landing, the VTOL craft floats!
