Due to recent security issues, we need a new aircraft exclusively for the Queen and her Royal entourage's use.

The plane must:

-Have major defensive capabilites
-Be able to achieve 290 kts
-Have a conference room with Internet capabilites and a 54'' Plasma screen TV
-Be able to comfortably accomidate 40 people
-Have an escape pod
-Be able to land in 950'
-Be able to take off in 950'

The plane may:

-Have an arcade (the Queen is a teenager)
-Have a Master Cabin
-Be able to ditch in water
-Have a rear loading ramp for Her Majesty's convoy

The contractor with the nicest specifications wins.

OOC: I don't care what you do to it, I'm modern/future tech and it can go into space if you want. Ramjets, 1000' lenghts, multiple decks, you name it. Post pics, please.

I have something you may be intersted in

I called it the Migest, used VTOL fan technology to stay afloat/in the air, and used jjet engines to take off, it was a flying command ship, mounted mulitpal SAM launchers,a s well as AGA (Air-Ground Ardy) also, it has external dokcing ports for speicaly built helicopters with extendable maglock tubes

Id be willing to sell the tech for this

crappy pic available

((yes, i know it sucks))

If you could make it without the artillery, we would accept. How long does the tank last?

I can build it for you withoutt he ardy, no problem, the tank should last for 24 hours....fuel can be offloaded and stored and manualy put into the engine, a totaly for 48 extra hours of fuel can be stored, and/or the tank can be fueled via Tanker plane.

I can build for you:
1 Vessel
4 Helicopter docking ships

and i will include in the deal
The production rights should you require more than one
The production rights of the choppers
The removal the artillery

Name your price

OOC: I ask you to plase not re-use the VTOL Fan tech in anything else, any other points to discuss, I have AIM, should you need to contact me

I'll give you $980,000,000 for the lot of it.

meh, sold

Been a pleasure Queen :)

"While the Steel Empire is presently quite distrustful of all the nations of man, we are interested in extending an... olive branch, we believe the human term is, to you."

"Following is the basic details of our first design, utilizing technology similar to that used by many human nations."

[code:1:6f99a29501]
Code: BDT-01X374-Proto
"XT7-Hopper-42F" series chassis.
Basic design Accomidations: 74 humans
Modified Accomidations: 53 humans

Utilizes a combination of helicopter blades and jet propulsion. Capable of your specifications, including the request that it be able to ditch in water.

Smooth tracking heavy anti-air guns along port and starboard sides, providing full coverage of surrounding airspace.

Air-to-Air missile batteries on the top and bottom of the craft.

Despite defences, the craft is able to maintain a reletively low radar and heat profile. Active camoflague is a possibility.

Can be modified to use any prefered fuel type. The Steel Empire is willing to exchange hydrogen fuel technology for something else if that is the power method the Burnsian Desert wishes to use and does not have it.


Modified version for the Burnsian Desert features executive quarters for the queen, with adjoining bathroom, entertainment center, and conference room. The bed intended for the queen's use will be constructed of mahogany, and the feathers of a beast native to the territories of the Steel Empire that our Biologicals believe to be exceptionally soft.

Less luxurious accomidations for the remaining humans.

The conference room can comfortably seat fifty people, and can maintain a direct satelite link even under attack. Four 54" flat screen plasma monitors.

Entertainment area features variable lighting system, a dance floor, and several gaming stations that are able to support many formats.

Executive kitchen facility, and the capacity to store an estimated twelve days worth of food for 53 humans.

Four escape pods, capable of softly yet quickly delivering fifteen humans each to the ground, along with a week of emergency provisions. Seven other decoy pods will be launched along with the others, in an attempt to prevent the four real pods from being captured. Decoy pods are designed to have the exact same heat profile as real, fully occupied pods.

The craft is capable of supporting an intelligent, Mekantan-made AI. Any AI used will be deep-programmed towards loyalty to the queen and the Burnsian Desert, and will obey any order given by her and those she specifies. Mekantan AIs excel at multitasking, information management, electronic warfare, and strategy. Many have learned to play video games. Should the Burnsian Desert wish such an AI installed, auditory, optical, thermal, and electronic data centers will be placed throughout the craft.

"The alternative design is more beyond that of most Human nations."

[code:1:6f99a29501]
Code: BDT-2KMS7D-Lambda
"Y4ZM-Midori-MTKI" series chassis.
Basic design Accomidations: Unknown - Pure Machine design
Modified Accomidations: 85 humans

Utilizes a sophisticated spacial distortion drive, capable of hovering and maneuvering far beyond that of most human designs.

Smooth tracking automatic mass drivers along all sides, providing full coverage of surrounding airspace. Aspect tracking system available, with advanced AI support.

Craft equipped with a spacial scrambling device, rendering it invisible to human radar and thermal sensors. Active camoflague standard.

Can be modified to use any prefered fuel type. The Steel Empire is willing to exchange fusion technology for something else if that is the power method the Burnsian Desert wishes to use and does not have it.

The bed intended for the queen's use will be constructed of mahogany, and the feathers of a beast native to the territories of the Steel Empire that our Biologicals believe to be exceptionally soft.

Three lesser luxury quarters for anyone the queen wishes to have them.

Less luxurious accomidations for the remaining humans.

The conference room can comfortably seat fifty people, and can maintain a direct satelite or subspace link even under attack. Four 54" flat screen monitors and a holographic projection display.

Entertainment area features variable lighting system, a dance floor, and several gaming stations that are able to support many formats. Non-hardlink VWS (Virtual World System) support. This is a variant on the technology Mekanta uses to hardwire its population from their stasis into a virtual world. This variant uses soft nodes that do not require entry into the body, as opposed to the original technology.

Executive kitchen facility, and the capacity to store an estimated two months worth of food for 100 humans.

Seven escape pods, capable of softly yet quickly delivering fifteen humans each to the ground, along with a week of emergency provisions. Eighteen other decoy pods will be launched along with the others, in an attempt to prevent the four real pods from being captured. Decoy pods are designed to have the exact same heat profile as real, fully occupied pods. All pods are equipped with fast, smooth tracking mass drivers.
