Prototypes.


Features:

The cockpits are in stepped tandem configuration. The Weapon Systems Officer (WSO) is seated in the front cockpit and the pilot is seated in the cockpit above and behind the WSO. The cockpits are fitted with crashworthy seats and are armour-protected (up to 12.7mm).

The 4-bladed rotor can withstand hits from 30mm cannon fire.

The 'Zephyr' is equipped with an advanced navigation suite including Doppler Radar Velocity Sensor, Thales Avionics eight-channel Global Positioning System, Heading Sensor Unit and an Air Data Unit.

Target detection, acquisition and tracking are carried out using the nose mounted stabilised sight, TDATS. The TDATS sight is equipped with a low level television sensor, Forward Looking Infrared sensor (FLIR), autotracker, laser rangefinder and laser designator.

The 'Zephyr' has the Helicopter Electronic Warfare Self-protection Suite (HEWSPS), incorporating radar warning, laser warning and countermeasures dispensing system (Chaff, Flare, and others).

The 'Zephyr' carries a large range of weaponry, ranging from anti-armour missions to urban warfare. There is also a Naval Varient. This helicopter can engage multiple targets at short and long range, utilising the nose-mounted cannon and a range of underwing-mounted munitions.

To decrease the chances of being spotted by radar, specialy made 99.5% black paint (from I-Products), can be purchased.

BuMp

12 zephers and assault rifles monney wired on confirm

*Sigh*

A few questions/comments first.

1) What Assualt Rifles?
2) Which weapons package?
3) Zephyr, not Zepher.

The Fourth Reich of Psychopathic Warmonger would like to purchase 20 Zephyrs with Package 1 and 10 with package 3. Also Black Paint for all helicopters.

Total : $807,500,000 (Correct me if i'm wrong)

Money will be wired on confirmation of order. Thanks.

Dark Angel Industries is interested in purchasing production rights for this vessel. We wish to sell a varient that is compatible with our own Missile line. What is the price for production rights?

(ooc: you will get credit for the design on my storefront, so dont worry about that :) )

we are willing to pay $30,000,000,000 for the design.

Psychopathic Warmonger: Confirmed.

Blacktower: We are sorry to inform you that production rights for this particular helicopter are unavailable, due the IN government's purchase of them. We can however design a very very similar helicopter for you for the cost of $15,000,000,000.

we shall up our bid for this peticular helicopter to $40,000,000,000 no higher.


about your second design offer, what are its specs? we may be interested

We regret that it is impossible to sell this exact helicopter to you, but the second design will have almost exactly the same stats.

Th problem is the IN government forbid us from selling the prod. rights of this version, but we can produce a near-identical copy, for $15,000,000,000.

The only differences will be the 'black paint' and the armament layouts, they will be removed, and there will be space to fit your own.

OOC: In other words you can make a near identical design, without the armament layouts and the paint options. We would also be grateful if you could find a different picture, or use one of the prototype images above. This nwilol cost $15,000,000,000

that is acceptable, as we did not wish to use your weapons layouts or "black paint". $15,000,000,000 has been wired. Thank you for the design, a pleasure doing business with you.

Psychopathic Warmonger: Confirmed.



*Money Wired*

Thanks very much, pleasure doing business with you.

Seph, answer my previous questions, and then you can have the helicopters. Order anything else (IE assualt rifles) on the store NOT on the NS forums.

Are production rights to this helicopter still available?

Kyanges: No, they are not. I am sorry.

Sephrioth: Denied, you haven't put a price, and you are ordering SA-80's on the wrong thread.
