** ''Thunderbird 1'', piloted by Scott, is a hypersonic aircraft powered by a nuclear thermal engine, designed for getting to the crisis scene as fast as possible to gather intel.
** ''Thunderbird 2'', piloted by Virgil, is a giant less-hypersonic-but-still-fast lifting-body transport for moving the gear that ''Thunderbird 1'' called for. (This one is unsurprisingly the most frequently seen of the lot, appearing in both (all right, all three) movies and all but one episode of the TV show.)
** ''Thunderbird 3'', piloted by Alan, is an SSTO rocket used for space rescues and reaching ''Thunderbird 5''.
** ''Thunderbird 4'', piloted by Gordon, is a submarine for underwater rescues. Often transported in ''Thunderbird 2''[='s=] pod 4.
** ''Thunderbird 5'', manned by John, is a space station capable of monitoring all radio frequencies world wide to listen for distress calls.
** Also the Mole, used for underground rescues, and a host of souped-up construction gear hauled in [=TB2's=] pods.
