Propulsion: 8 MW tiltrotor powertrain in two 65 cf pods (DR 25, HT 100). Power: Two 4,020 KW hydrogen combustion engines in the pods. 1,600 gallons hydrogen (self-sealing, DR 5, HT 250, fire on 10) for 4h 58min and a refueling probe. Excess power 20 KW. Accomodations: Four normal and 30 cramped seats, few windows. Crew Requirements: Pilot, co-pilot and two door gunners. Armor: 450 points expensive armor, F6/50 B6/50 R6/50 L6/50 T6/50 U6/50 RW6/50 LW6/50 RO6/50. Cargo: None, but 259 cf access space could be used. Accessories: Twelve dischargers (in the pods), compact fire extinguisher, improved IR cloaking, laser sensors, 34*12 hours limited lifesystem, radar locator, improved sound baffling, radical stealth, two extreme- range thermographs (scan 22, DR 3, HT 20, electronics), two medium radars with rangefinder (scan 22, DR 3, HT 10, electronics), two ALLTVs (+5, DR 3, HT 4, electronics), four HUDWACs with virtual panorama, cargo ramp, three microframes (C4, DR 3, HT 12, electronics), dual controls, two INS (DR 3, HT 6, electronics), two GPS, three secure long-distance radios (DR 3, HT 4, electronics), three IFF, two terrain- following radar, two lasercoms, winch (DR 5, HT 15, equipment). Programs: Database (16.93 GB maps), datalink, sensor operation (C4, skill 15 or +4), tactical vehicle operation (skill 14). Weaponry: Two 15mm miniguns (DR 5, HT 25) with 1,000 APS rounds each in door mounts and two hardpoints.
