At the front of the cabin is an ejection seat and ejection hatch, located directly above the seat. Inside the floor is a landing leg and wheel. Located behind the cabin is a deck where a Dart 7 refuels, fuel feed lines conveys fuel from the Wombat to a Dart 7. Electromagnetic docking clamps hold a Dart 7 in place during refuelling. Just behind the cabin on either side of the Wombat are two of three EI4I VTOL jets, the third is situated at the very back of the Wombat in the centre, amidst fuel tanks. The VTOL jets are served by a turbofan each. In front of each forward VTOL jet is an air intake. Either side of the deck is a wing, next to each is landing gear which has hydraulic suspension, a leg strut, and hydraulic actuators. Either side of the rear VTOL jet is a tailfin, WI0I turbofan, dual air intakes for primary turbofan jet engines, and an afterburner. Each afterburner has a nozzle and ducting.
