I call it the 'Flash Gordon' syndrome: They're supposed to be fantastic sci fi vehicles so the concept artists often draw spacecraft that are made to look really futuristic by being all weird and alien, rather than 'purposeful'. The 'problem' with some of the newer ship designs is that they don't apply the old common sense rules to the actual purpose of the craft, so that then all the engineering choices put into them look off.
The length and height of those wings seemed to exclude it from getting into or even safely landing in any of its dock.
Everytime I watch TFA I wonder how on earth that shuttle managed to land in that SD.
