small dropship

Noordung:
@sandro oxygen is good becouse it is in atmosphere. so you dont need to have it on aircraft. you also have to consider how easy it is to ionize it. mass of particle its not the only thing. nitrogen might be even better since it 78% of atmosphere.

@cevaralien my first design it was very much like harrier (if you check older pictures) but with engine at top of aircraft it looks a little weird. maybe nozzle could be inside wing (some expertimental VTOLs had it in wing. cut for now this is finished. also changing like you suggested its a lot of work. it would be better tu jsut make another one.
you always have to take in consideration where is exit for soliders, aircraft should be as small as possible (smaller aircraft - more map), it should look nice, and well it should look advanced. so it may not look like aircrafts of our age.
i will cartainly make more different aircrats they somehow become my hobby.

Noordung:
md2 files and uv maps of small dropsip. if it well be ever used in game. + bad textures showing may idea of how could it be painted.

You should make it run off of fusion power and extreme speed vacuum engines. They work like a turbine. But this time they make high pressure inside a chamber even heating the air a little bit and sending out on the other end of the engines. They can use high effecienty linear electric motors wich can be made as loops. Those things simply can rock! They need miniscule place, miinimal repairs virtually every single row in the turbine can have it's own engine(high resilience against ordinary damage). This technology is something on what they also as a high effeciency electric enginge for planes. Only problem it is indeed effective in the atmosphere but neither it is cheap neither powering it is easy. This is more like a jet engine based on electronics. Only effective on higher energy levels. Fusion reactors also could be used in the games. In this year we did the first fusion reactor work. So in 70 years we could easily make them accesible to military crafts. Building more advenced craft is always a have to. So they would never stop producing weaponry. 50 years of peace is nothing, compared to more than 4 thousand years of war. Every country should be still researching into military tech. Maybe not fielding it fast cause it's not so cheap. But they should keep a ready stock in need.

Noordung:
good idea. i think we could make new desctriptions for existing aircraft so their technology would be more like 2080s...

Seerorin:
Forgot to tell. Only problem with this turbine based system it's can't be used on really high altitudes. Just like helicopters. They have to be under about 6000 metres. Cause if you move higher engine effeciency goes down exponentially. But they are working and will go into civilian crafts someday if they don't invent any better. That means planes will go lower but cheaper(if electricity will be easily stored.). Also any landing craft with weaponry should have rotary turrets and two pilot cockpit. If you go with high pressure turbines you should simply rise model height a little bit. Say there is a fusion reactor in the back of the fuselage. Put a large intake on the top. Heighten the cockpit a bit for two pilots. Also with this you can forget large wings. It should travel need supersonic with these engines small retractable wings should be easily enough for them. They can easily hover. Only problem would be they don't carry UGVs but the plane itsilf could be function as one after soldiers leave it maybe? Otherwise you have to make it a lot bigger. Even tough I don't see any real reason behind an UGV probably will be no use... A wheeled machinegun, meh... But the dropship fliing over the place firing 20mm shiiva rounds would make the aliens think twice about getting into open ground. :D
