==Technical Specifications==

The Thunderbolt is a tough aircraft to destroy, built around an armoured superstructure and cockpit.{{Fn|2}} Twin F122v afterburning turbofans gives the Thunderbolt a good top speed in atmospheric flight, while a rocket booster engine allows it to operate in the vacuum of space and for fast take-offs when mounted on ground-based hydraulic ramps. The Thunderbolt should not be confused with a true "star-fighter" like the [[Fury Interceptor]] though, as its space capabilities are used primarily when deploying from an orbiting spacecraft into the atmosphere or likewise returning.{{Fn|1}}
