Aircrafts[]
The X-Jet, otherwise known as the Blackbird, is the name of the aircraft operated by the X-Men. It is used by the team to travel to different locations in secret. When not in use, the aircraft is stored under the mansion and departs through a concealed hanger located in the cliffs near the Institutes grounds. One craft, is the SR-77 Blackbird, it is the larger of the two and is a large jet with powerful twin-engines and equipped with a steal mode. When used on missions, it is usually operated by Scott Summers, Logan Howlett, and rarely by Kurt Wagner.
The second aircraft, is a jet-helicopter hybrid known by the name XM-Velocity, it was used by the remaining members of the X-Men and the Brotherhood to travel to Asteroid M to locate their teammates. Unlike its larger counterpart, the Blackbird was constructed without any metallic material making it immune to Erik's power of magnetism. After it was shot down following the battle on Asteroid M, it was repaired and used again by the X-Men during their time on the run after mutants became public knowledge.
