Orbiter (L) Spaceplane:
The orbital spaceplanes are designed to ascend orbit vertically under rocket power like conventional expendable launch vehicles. Orbital spaceplanes has a much smaller payload fraction than a ballistic design with the same takeoff weight. Thus, it significantly reduces the payload size due to the wings' weight, but the reusability is intended to offset the disadvantage.
This model has measurements of: Span: 9 1/4" Len: 14 1/2" and Scale: 1/100
