The Shuttle-PB is a very agile single-seater. It produces little lift in atmospheric flight, and depends on its hover thrusters for takeoff and landing. Aerodynamic control surfaces are not supported in this version. Attitude control is performed via the RCS (reaction control system).

The Shuttle-PB has been somewhat neglected in recent versions of Orbiter; it has only a basic aerodynamic model and no instrument panel or animations, it is not capable of horizontal takeoff or landing and it has no retro engine.
