Thunderbird 1 is largely gray in color with a blue bottom and red nose. It rises vertically from a secret space under the pool, but can also take off and land horizontally. Thunderbird flies at high speeds 1 with the wings folded making him more on a rocket seems. Thunderbird 1 can also quiet rest and is armed with a machine gun at the bottom of the hull.

The primary function of Thunderbird 1 is used as reconnaissance aircraft. Due to the high speed he is always the first to a disaster area, after which the situation can have a rescue plan and Scott can draw up before Thunderbird 2 arrives. Thunderbird 1 includes a mobile camera, a mobile communication station, and a sonar.

Thunderbird 2 is always controlled by Virgil and has room for several passengers.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Thunderbird 2 is hidden in a hangar behind a rock wall. At the departure of the island rises up from a standing start he cant on Court, but like Thunderbird 1 it can also take off and land vertically and still linger in the air.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The main task of the Thunderbird 2 is the transport of rescue equipment to a crash site. These reddingsmaterialen are stored in six containers. Thunderbird 2 has an open space in the Middle, exactly where these containers Threading. Thunderbird 2 may, at places of destination, lifting himself up with four hydraulic legs, making the container will be placed loose on the ground and vehicles can be unloaded.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Of itself is Thunderbird 2 equipped with an escape capsule, magnetic grippers to lift things, a sonar, lines with cleats, hooks and claws. He can further lower ropes and ladders. Under the nose is a machine gun in defense.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Thunderbird 2 is 76 meters long, 18 meters high and has a wingspan of 55 meters. The speed is against the 10 000 kilometres per hour. In the entire series that Thunderbird 2 is the only one of the heavily damaged and thus produce die-cast metal once a while out of use was (Terror in New York City ).

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the live-action film has Thunderbird 2 wings which is further behind and the containers made way for a fixed cargo space with an opening at the bottom. Just like Thunderbird 1 in the live-action film has Thunderbird 2 extra engines at the bottom that help retain the height. ===Thunderbird 3<span class="mw-editsection" len="369" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Thunderbird 3 is a rocket designed for space rescues and for contact with Thunderbird 5. Thunderbird 3 takes off from a secret space, under the "round house". He is alternately controlled by Alan and John, with Scott as co-astronaut. Alan and John each other In theory change per month. In practice, however, one sees only a handful of times in the series John Thunderbird 3 driving (in The Mighty Atom, Danger at Ocean Deep, The Uninvited), and then always for transport to and from Thunderbird 5. In the episode Ricochet controlled Virgil Thunderbird 3 once.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Thunderbird 3 is the least used of the five primary Thunderbird machines. Throughout the series he is involved in a rescue mission only three times, namely in Sun Probe, The Imposters and Ricochet. Thunderbird 3 is 87 metres long with a 7 m wide body and a span of 24 metres (including engines). The rocket used chemical rockets for propulsion.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Just like Thunderbird 1 is Thunderbird 3 in the live-action film with Windows in the cockpit.

Thunderbird 4 is the only one of the five primary machinery which is not on its own can achieve a disaster area but always must be brought. That is usually done by Thunderbird 2. An exception is the episode Terror in New York City, when Thunderbird 2 and Thunderbird 4 was out of use by a Navy ship had to be brought to New York.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Thunderbird 4 is controlled by Gordon.

There is now a big grabber present, the Windows are different, the engines at the back and the shape is rounder. ===Thunderbird 5<span class="mw-editsection" len="369" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Thunderbird 5 is a space station. Thunderbird 5 is the largest of the produce die-cast metal with a length of 122 meters, and width of 90 metres and a height of 83 meters. Thunderbird 5 is the only one of the Thunderbird machines which does not function as a rescue vehicle but only for communication purposes serves. Thunderbird 5 is alternately manned by Alan and John (although in the series usually John in Thunderbird 5 is).

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Thunderbird 5 can receive all radio channels and filter out calls for help. Thunderbird 5 is of great importance for further communication between the other produce die-cast metal and base. John, for example, can provide information on how Scott and Virgil to proceed. The equipment aboard Thunderbird 5 is so advanced and automated that the whole space station by one crew member rotating can be had.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Thunderbird 5 is the only vehicle with its own theme song.

In the climax of that movie is the plane the only means of transport that can be used to the crew and passengers of the Skyship One to save stranded because all the other vehicles of International Rescue too big and too heavy. Therefore, it is at the end of the film to Thunderbird 6 baptized.

That is why FAB 1 in this film a heavily modified Ford Thunderbird. In the film, the car can even fly using folding wings and a rocket engine. This film version of the car was tested in the program Top Gear, in which it was concluded that the car is not such a practical in practice because of the length and construction. ===FAB 2<span class="mw-editsection" len="362" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The Lady Penelope's yacht .

The plane can fly at an altitude of 76 miles.
