The rear wings of the Taipan have their in-flight position (the non-docking configuration) animated based on the heat level of the fighter. As the ship's heat level increases, the rear wings will decrease the amount they are swept back in a V shape and will become closer to a straight wing shape.
The rear wings of the Taipan will move based on the amount of the fighter's heat level. As the fighter's heat level increases, the rear wings will form from a V-shape into a parallel shape. This allows the fighter to more effectively release heat, slightly sacrificing the fighter's maneuverability until cooled down.
