This is a very large-scale Gyrcopter, capable of carrying up to 1000 tons in it's cargo hold, or hanging below the chopper.
There will also be a combat-ready version of this with armor equipped, and a reduced load capactiy of 600 tons.

Crew: 4
Length: 290 feet
Wingspan: 180 feet
Fuselage Height: 40 ft
Dry Weight: 500,000 lbs
Max Takeoff Weight: 2,500,000 lbs
Max Payload: 1000 tons
Cargo Doors: Rear-Loading (ventral-bay style on some models, used for quick drop deployment of heavy vehicles, like the Behemoth). Also carries several large cables to carry oversized objects.
Engines: 4 Raysian Electric REJH-9050 Jet Turbofans (2 on each wing) rated at 150,000 lbs of force each. 2 RETS-1899 Jet turboshaft rotors, 4 blades each. Turning and overall stability is controlled by a large internal gyroscope.
Max Ceiling: 20,000 ft
Max Speed: 370 mph (Mach 0.5)
Range: 5000 miles

Price: Normal (1000 ton payload): $190 Million

Note: yes, that is a sky cleaner Mk III that it's carrying :) I am going to re-introduce a reworked version of it, now that I have something that can carry it!

Sign me up for a few normal ones. Maybe like 10.
I think I have enough cash.

Yeah I have enough.

Awww :( I thought it was going to be a 'real' Airship, you know, Like one of your old Massive ZepplinCarriers? (sniffs) I feel so jyped...
