There are five basic types of manuevers the
lightcraft can perform. These manuevers are:
hyperjump, high-G acceleration, subsonic flight,
take-off and landing functions, and conventional
pitch, roll and yaw. All three propulsion systems are
used in combination to acheive these manuevers. The
high-G acceleration is actually a combination of
things. First the lightcraft performs a hyperjump via
the PDE engines. After the lightcraft reaches
supersonic speeds the MHD engines come online and
finish the push into space. As far as landing goes
the lightcraft has three options, depending on the
terrain and other conditions. These options are: the
auxiallary tripod landing gear on the lightcraft
itself, 3 or more extended pods, or deploying the
Maglev Lander as a "foot".
