 For the Bus , Altenau explained that it " has all kinds of S.H.I.E.L.D. technology that is revealed over time as the series progresses . This includes an extra wing and engines in the rear giving the plane the ability to operate vertically for take @-@ offs and landings , and even mid @-@ flight u @-@ turns ... FuseFX was given the opportunity to design the Bus . The design included many features from the start , such as the ability to do vertical take @-@ offs and landing " . FuseFX designed the Bus , and " Extreme attention was paid when designing the textures and rigging for this asset . Half a dozen 8k maps make up the details on the plane which allows the camera to get right up to the surface of the plane without any loss of detail . A very complex rig controls every aspect of the plane from the landing gear , engine transformation , doors opening , lighting and even the wings have flex controls for the animators to sell the weight of this massive aircraft . When the engines are in vertical flight mode they have several degrees of rotation which gives the jet a lot of maneuvering ability . "
