Y Soser Hedfan

Y Soser Hedfan translates into English as The Flying Saucer. It was used as a single-seat space racer, suitable for operating in planets' atmospheres and deep space.

 

Millennia after alien space pirates had terrorised the galaxy in ships such as The Jaws of Death, their blue and yellow striped spacecraft were famous as some of the fastest space racers. These ships would race both in and out of planets' atmospheres at incredible speeds. In those days, men were real men, women were real women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

 

The requirement for atmospheric performance led ships in this category to be streamlined and have lifting bodies and/or wings. Other examples included ships such as the Furias and the Tangerine Dream. This led to vessels being very smooth and free of the "greebles" much beloved of spaceship spotters, floating around in their zero-g anoraks.
