Just two months after engine integration, we’ve integrated the tail and wings on our Quarterhorse Mk 2 vehicle.

The curvature of Mk 2's wings helps control shock formation across the wing and its control surfaces, stabilizing the aircraft's transition into supersonic. The tail, assembled at our LA facility, is tuned for stability and controllability at high and low speeds alike.
