it's the swing wing shuttle! started out as a triamese but then they ended up settling on a more conventional booster/orbiter two-stage concept. the vee-tail's all you needed for control during entry and then the wings popped out once you went subsonic. not a bad idea but nasa got skittish over what would happen if the wings failed to deploy.
