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|1a}} by engaging the rocket booster engine after reaching the Thunderbolt's atmospheric ceiling.{{Fn|1a9a}} The Thunderbolt incorporates aircraft systems controls that feature life support, tactical and targeting readouts for all weapons as well as a damage diagnosis system. All these information can be directly accessed by the pilot through the tactical display of the [[Ryza pattern type IV flight helmet]]. These vital systems have backups in case of a malfunction in the helmet.{{Fn|9b}}
