horizontal

Explanation:
Wenn es kein Marketingspruch, sondern tatsächlich eine Anweisung ist, wie man das Flugzeug "werfen" soll, dann könnte hiermit schlicht "horizontal" gemeint sein, also beide Tragflächen parallel zum Horizont. "Straight" wäre dann wohl gerade nach vorne, also weder nach oben noch nach unten geneigt.

Flughöhe

Explanation:
In der Fliegerei bezeichnet der "flight level" die Flughöhe. Vermutlich ist genau das hiermit gemeint: "Werfen Sie das Flugzeug auf die Flughöhe."
