The Shrike Interceptor is built for high speed and maneuverability.  The • wings
sweep to three different positions: when straight out, they provide the • most
lift for takeoff and landing; when swept forward, they increase
maneuverability at sub-mach speeds for dogfight situations; and when
swept back, the jet can reach its top speed for those long hauls.  The • landing
gear completely retracts, and the cockpit and the storage compartment • behind it
swing open.  Since my website isn't quite ready (and I already exceeded my • disk
quota), here's the Brickshelf gallery:
