The TigerShark CNC laminate plywood fuselage features large thermoplastic hatches and cowls for access to the entire payload area. The mass production technology gained from the Scythe project was applied to the flying surfaces of the Tiger Shark airframe.

Many of these vehicles could be produced very quickly.
