The fun part is that it accelerates so fast (vertically) that it is in space & ready to flame out before you realise it. Raptor turns so fast that you have to be strapped in all over so your head does keep going in the peior direction. One other characteristic is that it flies such tight turns that the pilot needs to be highly resistant to g-force blackout. Cheers Doug
