Description Now with color and crisp new lines!

This is the all new HMcp SA1, or the Hasak/Michani Corp. Sentient Aircraft 1. It's feature is a computer based control board integrated with lab-grown brain cells of a local winged species on the Hasak planet. This brain is like having a co-piot with you at all times to make even better assessments to your flight than you thought possible, because flying is what the species does best! This vehicle can not only be used in air, but for misc. tasks on the ground too with heavy duty appendages and power a' plenty to get the job done!

Power:
-Primary and secondary power for electronics, hydros, and forced induction assistance is provided by a 600bhp V10 engine that drives the primary generator and hydro pump. Its exhaust is used to assist the ring jet at low RPM operations through tech previously used to operate turbochargers.

-Forward thrust is generated by a custom built Michani Ring Turbine affixed to the junction of the torso and tail. Its compact design provides maximum stable thrust while being flexible to permit agile maneuvers utilizing the whole body of the vehicle.

-The wings operate just as they would on the real thing, but these have been outfitted with VTOL static ring drives. These drives use the accumulative charge of its environment to levitate, but it proves less effective at altitude.

Pros:
-Fast and safe method of transport.
-Claws allow for the use of any storage or weapon device. If it can pick it up, it'll hang on until the destination has been reached.
-No need to lock up for the night, SA1 is a Sentient vehicle which has the same judgement as you do. If someone approaches, SA1 will act accordingly.
-SA1 can be given a destination and left to fly on its own without a pilot, but it is recommend that one be present to take over in case of failure.

Cons:
-Static VTOL drives are only effective near the surface. At altitude, wing lift and flapping must be used to keep SA1 aloft.
-Biological components must receive nutrients to remain functional. SA1 can be set to scavenge for necessary items to grind, but it is recommended you provide necessities in a sanitary manner.
-Movement on the ground is limited with pilot on board so as not to injure said pilot.


The SA1 has been given the ironic nickname "Puddle Jumper" for its long last ability.

"It'll take ya from one oasis to another on just one tank of fuel! Couse' there aren't that many oasis spots 'round here anyway!"
