The capsule utilizes segments of the leading edges of the aircraft wings to provide flight capability and stabilization to the capsule, an elevon system controlling the capsule about both its lateral and longitudinal axes, and rudder and vertical stabilizing elements for controlling the capsule about its vertical axis. A rocket is provided to supply the thrust necessary to accomplish positive separation of the capsule from the parent aircraft along a required trajectory. A thrust system, such as a turbojet or fan jet engine, is provided for sustaining the capsule in flight.
