Tails' Plane

Tails' Plane is a vehicle that appears in the Sonic Boom franchise. It is a yellow aeroplane belonging to Tails and is his own creation, unlike the Tornado. It serves as Team Sonic's go-to vehicle. Always tinkering with it, the plane is Tails' pride and joy, which he affectionately refers to as a female and his "baby".

Appearance
Tails' Plane is a single-engine propeller-powered yellow airplane about seven meters long, with a single cockpit that contain a passenger seat at the back. The cockpit possesses no carbine, instead only having a windshield on the front. Its main body is rectangular with a dark grey segment on the bottom, and on the front is a black engine with a two-bladed propeller (which resembles Tails' twin-tails) and two smaller lights below it. Its two wings curve up at the tips and are equipped with handles for passengers to hold onto, and turnable jet engines. Its rear is emblazoned with Tails' symbol. It also has a bobblehead of an air captain.

Features and abilities
In addition to being fairly fast, Tails' Plane is highly maneuverable like Moth Bot, capable of making very sharp turns in close spaces. When needed for stationary flight, the plane can adjust the two jet engines on its wings into a vertical position to keep it fixed in midair. Also, despite its size, Tails' Plane possesses an in-board computer with wireless networking which can analyze energy outputs, and a laser targeting system. It also has a highly advanced (albeit not infallible) autopilot system.

Tails' Plane possesses a surprisingly high modular design, being able to use different forms of gadgets and armaments, such as a grabbling claw and Tails' Unbolterizer. The bottom of the plane also features a storage compartment for dropping various forms of aerial bombs. A more novel function is a sound system built into the wings.

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice
In Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice, Tails' Plane was used by Team Sonic to travel between the islands during their investigation of the deadly weather patterns caused by Dr. Eggman.

Season one
Built by himself, Tails took his place into usage after the loss of the Tornado, though he would accidentally place a Manufacturer's Warranty on it despite being the manufactor himself (even giving himself a receipt). Tails' Plane would later be used on a number of occasions to travel to Dr. Eggman's lair, whenever Tails was not tinkering with it. During a battle with Octopus Bot, Tails tried using his untested Unbolterizer from his plane, but it malfunctioned, got him knocked down and endangered his team. After fixing his invention, Tails used his plane and his Unbolterizer to save his team after they were caught by T.W. Barker. Later on, Tails used his plane to make a sand sculpture with his friends, though he had to clean sand out of its gaskets afterwards.

During Moth Bot's attack, Tails had his plane drop mothballs on the robot, staggering it long enough for Sonic to defeat it. Eventually, Tails' friends thought he spent too much time on his plane and got him to take a break. Weeks later though, Tails began having mechanical trouble with it due to the robotic cans for Eggman's Tomato Sauce infecting it. Soon, the plane went rogue and attacked Team Sonic, but Tails managed to hotwire it and return it to his control in time to foil Eggman's latest scheme.

While out in his plane, Tails found a Granifier Giganticus (named Rocky) whom Sonic and Knuckles awoke. Tails tried to fight Rocky, but his plane was heavily damaged, leaving Tails to repair it while Sonic, Knuckles and Amy used another method to reach Sticks on a peak. Then, when Eggman's systems were taken over by Nominatus, Tails' Plane was remotely controlled by Orbot and Cubot when they used a digital version of it in cyberspace. As such, Tails' Plane flew around haphazardly until Nominatus was stopped. Later, as Team Sonic was called to arms to defend Chez Amy, Tails used his plane for a bombardment of the invading Badniks. Another time, the plane was used by Sonic, Amy and Sticks alone to reach Eggman's lair and save an alternate Knuckles. The plane was also used by Tails to help keep the villagers safe from Octopus Bot which Dave the Intern was using, until Sonic stopped it.

After being used for Sonic and Knuckles' wheelbarrow race, Tails used his plane for a battle with Decimator Bot, but was too distracted by Zooey to pull off the Speeding Swing Surprise. When Eggman's Giant Robot caught Zooey, Tails save her and destroy the robot with the Unbolterizer using his plane. Tails' Plane was also used to take Team Sonic into a battle with Obliterator Bot, the majority of the team hanging from it by Enerbeams. Coming under attack by Eggman's league of villains dubbed Team Eggman later on, Tails used his plane to survey for his team when Willy Walrus attacked in Moth Bot. After a close aerial battle, Tails and his plane got Willy to crash into a mountain.

Season two
One time, Tails used his plane to bring Sticks to Eggman's lair for an investigation, only to leave it to itself to save Sticks when she spontaneously jumped out of the aircraft.

Archie Comics
When Sonic was attacked by Dr. Eggman's Spider-Kart during the Go-kart Pan-island Grand Prix, Tails' Plane was used by Tails, Knuckles and Amy in a successful attempt to both distract and damage Eggman's vehicle, enabling Sonic to win the race. After some trouble finding a parking spot for the plane, the team joined the attack.
