Kaukolastan has, after testing our prototype VTOLs, decided to discontinue helicopter operations and convert to the more advanced design. However, the concept Gunships we created were too expensive to justify a military wide upgrade, and so we announcing our intent to develop a relatively cheap, effective VTOl craft. We would welcome any other country that shares our interest to join us in this endeavor.
We are not looking at the Harrier or Osprey design, but rather at the Thrust Vectoring Turbine concept. While more strenuous and expensive, the simulated performance increases outweigh the initial projected costs. We hope that the resulting design will allow us to advance our Force Projection abilities.
OOC: I realize that this will move me beyond Modern and into Postmodern/Near-Future Tech, but that's where I wanted to be originally. 8)
