Although helicopters have been the premier VTOL transport craft within the past 40 years, we believe that combining the concept shown in both the British Aerospace Harrier and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter with the transport capability of the CH-47 Chinook helicopter, that a next generation transport can be economically effective to design and manufacture.

Thus, the Pegasus Mk.1 VTOL Transport Stratocraft is born. Designed to operate within the atmosphere, it can deliver and deploy a platoon of infantry and their equipment to a landing zone and provide support fire until all of its cargo has disembarked. Fully modular, able to fit many weapons and purposes, it is designed to operate in the same manner as all utility and medium transport helicopters.

(ooc: Very nice. Kinda reminds me of a Pelican Dropship that went through the Death Star's Trash Compactor. :D)

Contracts not negotiable? :[

OOC: Took the pic from the series Space:Above and Beyond, always loved that show, damn shame it was cancelled.

Not at the moment, as I just developed it. But when I do make it available: allies first, then public.
