GROUND MOVEMENT
There is no actual ground movement. The spacecraft levitates through its anti-gravity field. It is strong enough to lift the spacecraft about eight meters high, for rough terrain and object clearance, though typically, to save energy, the craft is levitated about one or two meters. A superconducting, electro-gravito-magnetic system is used to lock the altitude for parking purposes, and its superconductivity prevents energy loss.
The photon engines in the rear are used to give the craft forward propulsion for taxiing. They can also be used to steer the craft through differential amplification and/or vectoring of the photon engines.
The spacecraft can slow down and go in reverse via its infrared forward propulsion beam, which emanates from the black bar at the front of the ship. For the speeds used during atmospheric travel, the forward propulsion beam slows the craft down quite rapidly. However, for the high speeds encountered in space, the forward propulsion beam may not be sufficient to slow the craft in time. (See the "Space Travel" section below for more on this.) The forward propulsion beam can steer the craft in reverse, through differential amplification along its length.
The forward and rear propulsion devices are used for ascent and descent along the vertical axis. The forward propulsion beam has a top and bottom component for this purpose. The photon engines in the back simply vector their thrust.
The infrared lateral propulsion beams, located along the side black bars, give the craft lateral movement in space and during taxi.
AIR TRAVEL
Delta wings, flaperons, and a vertical stabilizer, and its associated rudder are used to provide lift and controllability in air. Though the propulsion system can be used by itself to maneuver the craft, in air environments, the craft saves energy, and handles much better, by using its aerodynamic maneuvering system.
SPACE TRAVEL
The photon propulsion system of the spacecraft is used for movement and maneuvering in space. The same methods which are used for taxiing the craft are used to move the craft while in space.
The propulsion system is capable of getting the craft up to light speed, since light particles (photons) are used for thrust. It takes two months to achieve light speed with the photon engines beaming out photons at full capacity.
The front propulsion beam takes longer to slow the craft down (accelerate in reverse) than the photon engines do to speed the craft up. If the craft needs to slow down more quickly, it must orient itself so that it is traveling tail first.
