Based on the Halcyon, the Helix is a canard based, swept wing beauty. Tough it's able to handle considerable higher speeds that the Halcyon, the increased drag completely nullifies it's ability to reach them without a considerable dive (even with extra engines, which increase aceleration and top speed noticeably). This is also more heavily armed, and comes with rockets attatched. Pylons on 1-4. If you're wondering why the other one of this dissapeared, I failed to realise that the guns would blow this thing up. I moved them, deleted the old one, and am now sharing this one.
