Tails' Plane

Tails' Plane is a vehicle that appears in the Sonic Boom franchise. It is a yellow aeroplane belonging to Tails which serves as one of Team Sonic's go-to vehicles, and is Tails' own creation, unlike the Tornado. 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 it has 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 tip and possess handles on them for passengers to hold onto and turnable jet engines, and 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, capable of making very sharp turns. When needed for stationary flight, the plane can use the two jet engines on its wings to keep it fixed in midair, similar to a helicopter. Also, despite its size, Tails' Plane possesses an in-board computer with wireless networking which can analyze energy outputs, and a laser targeting system.

Tails' Plane possesses a surprisingly high modular design, being able to use several forms of gadgets and armaments which include a grabbling claw, Tails' Unbolterizer and aerial bombs. A more novel function it has is a sound system built into the wings.

TV series
Taken into usage after the loss of the Tornado, Tails' Plane was 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 attached to his plane on the robot, but it malfunctioned and got him knocked down and endangered his team, which made him leave the team until he fixed the problem. Once done, Tails used his plane and his Unbolterizer to save his team after they were captured 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 the gaskets afterwards.

During Moth Bot's attack, Tails used his plane to drop mothballs on the robots, staggering it long enough for Sonic to defeat it. Eventually, Tails' friends thought he spent too much time with 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 after, the plane went rogue and attacked Tails and his friends, but Tails managed to hotwire it and have it return to his control in time to foil Eggman's latest scheme.

While out in his plane, Tails found a Granifier Giganticus nicknamed Rocky whom Sonic and Knuckles had awoken. Tails tried to fight Rocky, but his plane was heavily damaged, leaving Tails to repair it while Sonic, Knuckles and Amy had to use parasails to reach Sticks when she was held captive on a tall peak. Then, when Eggman's systems were taken over by Nominatus, Tails' Plane were remotely controlled by Orbot and Cubot when they entered cyberspace and used a digital version of the plane to reach Nominatus. As a result, Tails' Plane flew around haphazardly and endangered everyone until the robots stopped Nominatus.

Archie Comics
When Sonic was attacked by Dr. Eggman's Spiderkart during the Go-kart Pan-island Grand Prix, Tails' Plane was used by Tails, Knuckles and Amy to crash into the Spiderkart in a successful attempt to both distract and damage Eggman's vehicle, which enabled Sonic to win the race. After some trouble finding a parking spot, the team landed the plane to join the attack on Eggman.
