Description
Albatross Endurance is a large military cargo UAV utilized by Mahanakorn Government and developed by TRIAGE Corporation, per MHNK Gov request for heavylifter UAV at reasonable price tag for mass production.

TRIAGE presented an adequate bomber with versatile cargo capability to Mahanakorn - The Albatross Endurance. Heavy-duty cargo UAV at price tag of 230 millions USD ( 800 million Thai Bahts as of 2237 A.D.)

The Albatross has 300m wingspan and is able to carry over 300t (up to 500t) worth of cargo through its 3 internal bay and 2 external pods for various roles. Its re-configurable bomb bays allow massive versatility in role shifting, allowing Albatross to become airborne tanker, firefighting up to gunship modification.

Albatross Endurance, as the name suggest, has two IONOVA-4 Ion engines with ultra effective efficiency fuel ratio and comes with onboard Fusion reactor and helium reserve. This allows the cargo ship to become extremely long-range, able to travel to any part of the world and staying airborne for weeks if not months. On the downside, however, Albatross' engines trade its efficiency with less power output, only allowing maximum speed of Mach 2 compare to modern UCAV of its age which are able to engage in combat up to Mach 7 speed.

As a result of cost-cutting, the Albatross only comes defended by various chaffs, flares and electromagnetic decoys that are enough to hold out a squadron, but no offensive measures to protect itself against attackers.

Another of controversial design made by TRIAGE design bureau is that the aircraft doesn't has landing gear - It requires ground docking rack or station to pull itself in place as it parks with VTOL. As such, when emergency landing was required, the UAV often find itself landing on open water after discarding external tanks. It's weight was too much to allow buoyancy, so emergency rafts with explosive inflating chemicals are installed throughout the fuselage, allowing the UAV to stay afloat and be recovered without hassles.

Mahanakorn Air Force have ordered a total of 2 Albatross air fleets, with most of them ended up on occasional training exercises, interprovincial heavy equipment transport or appear in UniEarth's peacekeeping forces delivering humanitarian airdrops instead for its heavylifting capability.
