119k DestinyAviation  8.7 years ago

This rare bird was designed by Adam Style, the great-grandson of John Style, in 2040 to enter service with the United States Marine Corps. and the United States Navy (depicted color scheme). Housing a crew of three in a "gondola" style canopy and sporting six external hardpoints, the"Hawktail" as its crews nicknamed it, was a force to be reckoned with. It got its main electical power from the Greenwell-Rockfeller Thermonuclear-Electric Hybrid power cell housed in the "hump" of the aircraft. Due to lost test records, not much is known about the aircrafts performance.
