The Shuttle-PB is a small, very agile single-seat spacecraft. It produces little lift in atmospheric flight, and depends on its hover thrusters for takeoff and landing. Aerodynamic control surfaces are not supported in the current version, but attitude control can be performed via the reaction control system.
The Shuttle-PB has been somewhat neglected in recent versions of Orbiter, having only a basic aerodynamic model and no instrument panel or animations. It is also not capable of horizontal takeoff or landing and it has no retro engine. The reason for this may be in its usefulness as a test platform for developers; Dansteph has used a compatible version as an example for Orbitersound, UMMU, and UCGO.
