I checked with the original photo - the wing isn't broken or anything, it's just covered with some of that black dirt. Whether or not this means it's damaged is open to question.

Altair, the reason the picture makes the wing look broken is because of the color of the wing. The wing shouldn't come to a point, like you illustrated on the top side. It is identical to the "broken" side, but, because of the scan, the colors aren't able to be seperated.

The wording on your page is identical to that of my .ricksternbach post starting with "an Aerowing". I know I have such a perfect way of saying things, but still...
My post to .ricksternbach:
The Equinox does have an Aerowing-style shuttle of its own, quote "a hypersonic 'waverider' shuttle, a highly fuel-efficient vehicle at Mach 5 and above".
The description on your page:
The Nova-class has an Aerowing-style shuttle of its own, quote "a hypersonic 'waverider' shuttle, a highly fuel-efficient vehicle at Mach 5 and above".

Boris: Yeah, from the word quote, I used your exact words, the other was a bit modified. I can�t get the magazine itself, you see. Thus I have no idea what the article says. I figured the wording was from the magazine, and not original words from you. So I was a bit lazy, but, hey, I have rephrased it now.

Thanks for making them bigger Vorlon, but we already had these (albeit smaller) earlier in this topic. The 4-view schematics are clear but only half of what the final product looked like on-screen (I hate when magazines don't publish accurate stuff!) The black CGI's are excellent, because they show the final product. For anyone whose interested, I've been working on "canon-izing" the dorsal and ventral schematics from the magazine and the model kit. I could post them soon, if anyone wants. But, just today I found some great schematics HERE!. They are wonderfull!

Good, these look much better than my version. Vorlon: did you increase the scale on the scanner, or did you just resize them in PSP? I gotta know this.
The top view in the schematics is by Rick Sternbach, and it's not meant to be the final version. The other views are by Tim Earls. I'm sure the Magazine or the Fact Files will go ahead and do a Technical Briefing on the Equinox, featuring proper schematics.

59650: Yes, I know that. I only posted these now because they WERE bigger and of much better quality than those earlier ones... Those ones at Bernd's site are the same schematics as mine, only the black background has been removed. I was eventually going to do that to mine as well.
Boris: I just scanned them at 300dpi, full colour. What you see is what you get, except for the CGI views, which I actually resized down by 200 pixels...

I would love to have a pic of the underside of the Equinox, focusing on the waverider. Unfortunately this is the best I�ve got: http://hem.passagen.se/pinasov/nova.jpg Anyone got any better?
