  Delta Flyer II - Memory Alpha - A Wikia wiki
The Delta Flyer II was a reconstruction of the original Delta Flyer that was in service aboard the USS Voyager in the 2370s.
It was on a mission in the Delta Flyer that Harry Kim, Seven of Nine and Neelix encountered a damaged ship that requested Harry become its captain until they reached their destination.
The Delta Flyer also proved useful, albeit indirectly, as a means of rescuing the crew after they were nearly all abducted and brainwashed by a group of aliens called the Quarren.

Think of Delta II as your PC keyboard - the letter Q is toward the upper left, M is toward the lower right, etc. The more you relax, the faster you will type.
Because letters on the Delta II keypad are in proximity to where they exist on your PC keyboard, Delta II target acquisition speeds average twice as fast as alphabetic layouts, regardless of whether the alphabetic layout is linear, circular, or a matrix.
Also, the average distance between any two keys is shorter on the Delta II layout compared to a QWERTY layout that uses the same sized buttons and button spacing.

 InterPro: IPR006220 Anthranilate synthase component II/delta crystallin
Component I obtains this ion from ammonia, whereas component II obtains the ion from glutamine using the glutamine amidotransferase (GATase) activity [ 2 ].
In some bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, component II can be much larger than in other organisms, due to the presence of phosphoribosyl-anthranilate transferase (PRTase) activity.
Some studies have suggested that the larger component II could have arisen by gene fusion, a hypothesis supported by the fact that the two activities are found in discrete domains that are physically separated in the 3D model.
