*The aircraft has the capability to carry 2 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_fuel_tank conformal fuel tanks], allowing it to achieve low Earth orbit. Unlike most CFT systems, the ''Gridrunner's'' CFT's can be ejected once orbit has been achieved. Furthermore, she can be connected to an external fuel tank and booster rockets in the same fashion as a NASA Space Shuttle, allowing her to be launched from the ground.

*An exotic 'power conversion chamber' has been created for installation, which will allow Legionnaires with the appropriate ablities to act as a 'power source' to allow the ''Gridrunner-A'' to travel into space. The craft has the ability to make a trip to the Moon and return to Earth.
