Description
Black Stiletto's para military for hire main bomber, due to the ability to carry a small yet significant payload in comparison to its size (the doors under the wings) as well as being far more maneuverable to most other options. This is thanksΒ to the single file set of vertical ailerons on both wings as well as the lined up tail, the single file setup also helps reduce drag compounding off the wing tips. The rotary engines (alike that of a Sopwith Camel) are made into left and right styles so they spin in opposing directions to eliminate prop drag as well. Only difficulties with the Perkuno is the complicated fuel exchange to opposing engines being problematic and not the most ergonomic thing to repair, also the front wings pin the pilot against the other wing making it difficult to enter or leave in emergency situations where the engines may still be running and a danger.Made for a Dieselpunk world where the Black Stiletto Mercenaries is often called upon to solve complex issues which any form of actual military cannot be seen in for political reasons. Perkuno is actually the name of the Baltic Norse mythology version of Thor, the god of thunder, i just read up on him lately and was interested in lost Baltic mythology but has no bearing in the fictional Dieselpunk universe.

This is a really interesting and cool looking concept. However I have to question the wisdom of placing the pilot in the front just underneath the muzzle of the machine gun. OK, the bullets fly over his head, but there are hot and toxic gases escaping from there too.

thanks your dead on I had to think about this a bit, but decided to put it behind on top like an avenger en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_β¦ as it serves a similar role. Would mostly be facing the other way but true when facing forwards could create some interference with noise and GSR gunking up the cockpit.
