The vessel's shallow draft and water jet propulsion give it tremendous flexibility and maneuverability over conventional ship forms. |
A few lazy eights showcase the effortless maneuverability of the aircraft's design. |
Like the target, arm-straps link its maneuverability directly to the movement of the arm, so it is less versatile than a center-grip shield. |
As suggested here, internal Froude number may be interpreted as a measure of maneuverability. |
The maneuverability of Opportunity is a factor as well, because remnant boulders from the impact may litter the rim. |
The glide and end-game maneuverability are achieved without the added weight, cost and complexity of a rocket motor. |
