This is the mothership aircraft that carry the parasite fighter in his tail. Here is the moment of the release by a cable. The cable can be hooked once more by the pilot in the same fashion as the refuelling probe of our fighters today. The cable can be extended well behind the mothership.

The steam turbines are placed in the wing tips in order to do not disturb the recovery operations with turbulences and steam trails.

Power source are boilers that burn a powerful mixture of synthetic chemicals, and there is several large water tanks inside de fuselage.

The mothership is protected by the parasite fighter and by his own guns in remotely-controlled turrets.
