This weapons bay is capable of carrying all kinds of special weapons, including air-to-air missiles, air-to-surface missiles, and various bomblet dispensers. The X-02 incorporates a weapons bay between the intakes on the underside of the aircraft. The aircraft is carrier-capable, though is equally capable of taking off from standard airfields.
However, this comes at a cost to the aircraft's armor (which is scaled back to provide such mobility) as well as its fuel capacity. This unconventional design grants it an extreme degree of mobility and the folded wings add a degree of stealth. As the aircraft gains speed, the forward-swept wings and vertical stabilizers fold inward and downward respectively to reduce air drag, and retract to their neutral position once it slows down. The X-02 Wyvern incorporates an uncommon design with variable geometry technology and a forward-swept wing configuration.
