The Shuttle-PB is a small, very agile single-seat spacecraft. It produces little [[lift]] in [[atmospheric flight]], and depends on
its [[hover thrusters]] for takeoff and landing. [[Aerodynamic control surfaces]] are not supported in
the current version, but attitude control can be performed via the [[RCS|reaction control system]].



The Shuttle-PB has been somewhat neglected in recent versions of Orbiter, having only a basic aerodynamic model and no [[instrument panel]] or animations. It is also not capable of horizontal takeoff or landing and it has no retro engine. The reason for this may be in its usefulness as a test platform for developers; Dansteph has used a compatible version as an example for [[Orbitersound]], [[UMMU]], and UCGO.
