The major drawback of the circular wing's design is that the ''Thrush'' can enter an uncontrolled spin on entry to a planetary atmosphere, in a similar fashion to the [[Draconis Combine]]'s similarly designed ''[[Sholagar]]'' which was eventually phased out because of its unstable atmospheric flight.
