A two-stage earth-to-orbit transport is disclosed which includes an orbiter vehicle and a pair of boosters, each having a deployable oblique wing located along a longitudinal axis of the booster. The wing is deployed in an oblique disposition in supersonic and hypersonic speeds, and disposed at 90 degree for subsonic speeds encountered during entry. The oblique wing is driven axially and rotated by means of a turret mounted on rails.
