This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml Onno Meyer, 2015-02-23
Heavy Transport Helicopter v1.0 (TL9) Copyright 2015 by Onno Meyer The Heavy Transport Helicopter is intended for planets with a limited transport infrastructure. Under Earth standard conditions, it can carry 12 tons of cargo up to 1,000 miles, depending on the grade of the fuel. Alternatively, 70 passengers can sit or stand in the cargo bay. The turbines burn 594 gallons of alcohol or 495 gallons of diesel per hour at 245 mph routine speed. A full load of fuel alcohol is $1,000. Subassemblies: Body +5, six Retractable Wheels +1, Top-and-Tail Rotor +2. Powertrain: 9,000-kW TTR rotor drivetrain; two 4,500-kW standard gas turbines; 150,000-kWs advanced batteries. Fuel: 2,000 gallons alcohol (fire on 8). Occ: 2 RCS, 20 folding CS. Cargo: 1,000 cf.

Wheels are 150 cf, retract into Body. Rotor is 60 cf, folding. Structure is medium, standard. Armor is standard composite. Sealed. Tanks are light, self-sealing. Computerized controls with duplicate maneuver controls. 43.581 cf of empty space in the Body. Empty weight is 24,000 lbs. The vehicle uses the design rules from Vehicles [second edition, third printing, July 2010 errata], Vxi, and VXii (including the armor volume rule) with the text format from Vehicles Lite. Next Week: A tiltrotor. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
