"Helios" - Hybrid Career VTOL
This little VTOL was designed for career first, and prioritizes speed and fuel economy above all else.
Weighing in at around $35K equipped with two power modules, and $15K without the removable batteries, it's an affordable starter vehicle packed with career capability.
Headline Specs:
- 2 hour flight time (45+ min on electric power, 80+ mins on diesel)
- 90m/s max cruising speed (varies depending on power mode and addon batteries)
- 200+ km maximum range (arctic capable)
It features a hybrid system that allows it to fly on either electric power or diesel, which can come in handy in career situations, like if you are running out of diesel on your island. Or if you cannot afford the batteries, you can simply delete them.
Batteries can be jettisoned in flight to reduce weight once depleted. You get the money back when returning the heli to the workbench.
