Axion Corps present: Axion - Chariotte Flying Crane.
Etymology
Chariotte came from "Chariot", an ancient method of transporting carriage. Although chariot itself has "light" in the definitions, "light" is not suitable words for Axion - Chariotte.
Design
Axion - Chariotte is a heavy sky crane, designed to fulfill military needs of lifting a minimal 2 Jackhammer (each Jackhammer weight 10,743lbs or 4,872kg). And we decide, screw military requirement and build a helicopter with a max lifting capability of 110.231lbs or 50 tons. The design is inspired by a real-life Hughes XH-17 flying crane. We first use 1 double blade rotor design but clearly, tandem configurations are superior in terms of lifting power and stability.
