HyperJump Animation

How would one make a hyperjump animation like that of the Auroran Argosy's?

I would like to make a ship with that affect.

Sorry if this has been posted before.

You render a series of sets of unfolding sprites.
The first set is normal
The second set the wings are something like 1 point outwards
The third set the wings are something like 2 point outwards
The fourth set the wings are something like 3 point outwards
And so on.
Then combine all the sets to make one sprite. Then set the "Extra frames are unfolding" tag.
