The Zeta and Wing Gundams can transform into planes, which is fine but why are they doing this in space? Does it serve any purpose? The wings don't change anything because it's not like they need air to fly. It's not like turning to a plane will cut down on wind resistance. The only reason why NASA's shuttles are in that shape is because they wanted them to survive entering the atmosphere instead of having to replace a burnt-up capsule each time. It didn't help with space exploration. So why do they keep doing that?
