V – 11 Super Finch Light Courier Tilt-Rotor
V-11 Super Finch Light Courier
There are a lot of VTOLs on the workshop, but what do they bring you?
Ugly?
Difficult to use?
Expensive?
So large it needs its own postal code?
Consumes more liquids than Niagara Falls?
What if I told you there was a vehicle that wasn’t those things?
What if I told you it was right in front of you?
Meet the V-11 Super Finch. The best way to get from there to here to there, and then here again, then there and- Whew! How long can this thing fly? WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘THIRTY HOURS?!!!!’ That can’t be right… Greg what was the-Oh. Okay. Thanks Greg.
Okay, so, thanks to our unpatented 14-stage turbine technology, this thing can apparently fly on five thousand liters of fuel so long you’ll forget it technically requires fuel. So… That’s a thing.
Where was I?
Oh yeah. Selling points. Aside from being able to operate on so little fuel that they’ll have to blame climate change on something else, the Super Finch also boasts a compact hull capable of fitting comfortably in the TT Coastguard Outpost and small island airstrip hangar. And it does so without looking like a four-year-old slapped LEGO blocks together and asked dad to make it fly. Please, hold your applause.
Not only is it compact and operates on vapors, the Super Finch is also fully, EASILY controllable thanks to an FCS powered by the TT Tiltrotor control system. You can go thank him for doing the math. We just plugged it in.
And what price point does this all come with? A mere $37,926. Yes, that’s right. For the price of a mid-size sedan, you too can have an aircraft that takes off like a helicopter, cruises like a plane, and looks stylish while doing so.
Think that sounds good for a standard career or JSI marine industry game? I hope you do. It was designed with career in mind… To an extent. This isn’t a rescue plane. Warantee void if you fall out the back trying to recover someone.
