Auto Credit Based on JCTECHNOLOGIES's PW.M Vespidae

Welcome!

This is the first build of the PetalWorks group. The group consists of users DashEight, JCTECHNOLOGIES, Knightofni125, and Shadowshawny117. Lots of work was put into this helicopter from all of us, and we hope you appreciate it.

Lore

In 2035, the Petalworks company was approached by the military to develop a new type of attack helicopter that could operate with unprecedented stealth and speed. The military had identified a need for a helicopter that could enter enemy airspace undetected, strike quickly and decisively, and then retreat before the enemy could respond.

Petalworks responded to the challenge by assembling a team of engineers, designers, and aerospace experts, all of whom were dedicated to pushing the boundaries of helicopter technology. They worked tirelessly to create a helicopter that was lightweight, agile, and virtually invisible to radar and other detection systems.

The result of their efforts was the "Vespidae" attack helicopter, a sleek and menacing machine that could fly at incredibly low altitudes and speeds, making it almost impossible for enemy radar to detect. Equipped with a range of advanced sensors and weapons systems, the Vespidae was capable of delivering pinpoint strikes on enemy targets with deadly accuracy.

The first deployment of the Vespidae came during a covert operation in a hostile foreign country, where it was tasked with taking out a high-value target that was heavily guarded. Thanks to its stealth capabilities, the Vespidae was able to enter enemy airspace undetected, and it quickly eliminated the target with a precision strike.

The success of the Vespidae marked a turning point in military aviation, and Petalworks quickly became a leading supplier of stealth attack helicopters to military forces around the world. The Vespidae's reputation for speed, stealth, and lethality spread quickly, and it soon became a feared and respected symbol of military power wherever it was deployed.
