The two pylons that support the Recognizer on the ground also house the thrust mechanisms that hold the craft aloft. When landed, these struts remain in a stable position while the entire crew compartment descends to the ground. The lower level can then lower from the main body to the ground, allowing great ease of access to programs entering or exiting a Recognizer. |

| Behind the scenes | |
The modern Recognizer is an upgraded version of the original 1982 recognizer vehicle found in the Game Grid of the ENCOM mainframe.
Characteristics
Recognizers are large, ponderous flying craft consisting of a double-decked crew and passenger compartment supported between two enormous pylons. The lower deck has eight foot clamp passenger docks that hold any passengers in an upright standing position. A pair of guards can be housed at each end of the passenger line in recessed alcoves. A transparent floor and ceiling allows for panoramic views of the ground below, as well as a view up to the cockpit. The pilot flies the Recognizer from a standing position.
The two pylons that support the Recognizer on the ground also house the thrust mechanisms that hold the craft aloft. When landed, these struts remain in a stable position while the entire crew compartment descends to the ground. The lower level can then lower from the main body to the ground, allowing great ease of access to programs entering or exiting a Recognizer.
Recognizers fly in the manner of a VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft. While their speed is not appreciably fast against other flight craft, they do maintain a high level of effectiveness with their ability to move amongst high structures, as well as to provide a robust aerial surveillance platform. They can also be used a bombers (as seen in TRON Evolution), this is not demonstrated in TRON legacy.
In TRON: Legacy, Recognizers do not travel the lightstream (data transmission beam) that the Solar Sailer does as they do in 1982's TRON. There is no given reason for this.
