V-212 Pegasus VTOL Preorders
The Bell Boeing V-212 Pegasus is a United
Nations multi-mission, tilt rotor military aircraft with both a vertical takeoff and
landing (VTOL), and short take-off and landing (STOL)
capability. It is designed to combine the functionality of a conventional helicopter with the long-range, high-speed cruise performance of
a turboprop aircraft.
The V-212 originated
from the United Nations Weapons Research laboratories which escaped damage
during the ‘Great Purge’ due to its hidden location in the Eden Section. For takeoff and landing, it typically operates
as a helicopter with the nacelles vertical and rotors horizontal. Once
airborne, the nacelles rotate forward 90° in as little as 6 seconds for
horizontal flight, converting the V-212 to a more fuel-efficient, high speed
turboprop aircraft. STOL rolling-takeoff and landing
capability is achieved by having the nacelles tilted forward up to 45°.Other
orientations are possible, such as the "80 Jump" take-off which uses
nacelles at 80° to quickly achieve high altitude and speed.
Composite materials make
up 95% of the airframe, and prop rotor blades. Most missions use fixed wing flight 75% or
more of the time, reducing wear and tear and operational costs.
The V-212 can carry a
squad of 8 – 10 troops and its two pilots. For flak and infantry suppression the
Pegasus is armed with dual 20mm Gatling cannon, controlled by the co-pilot and
6 multi-purpose missile systems, 3 on each wing. Dedicated spec ops and Gunship versions are also under research
at the UMWRL. A Quad aircraft is also
under evaluation
The V-212 Pegasus VTOL is ready
for preorders at a special price of £12.99 (RRP is £13.99) or a pack of three
for £37.50. Preorders will be open for three weeks and delivery will begin one
week after if not sooner. Resin and
metal casting are currently in progress.
The Pegasus comes in several
parts. Two tilt rotors, one hull, one
tail and then two sets of undercarriage to represent them raised or lowered two
Gatling Cannon and two rocket systems.
