Background
The AC-25 Dropship is designed to transport vehicles and troops to the field as fast as possible. Or to carry supplies between ships or to the field. The Pelican is able to carry around 55 passengers. Capable of reaching more than 600 Mph, it can transport troops and heavy equipment to the field faster than most helicopters who can only reach around 150 Mph. Protected against rounds of calibers of around 25mm and able to glide to safety in the even of both main thrusters being destroyed or with only its rear thrusters.

What map is on the background
It's very odd to fly.
@zerogamer opertation eagleclaw. your statement is invalid. research on your own or ask me about it and what this implies about the common chopper. @RocCrafter101
@zerogamer Yeah, but this thing can do the same as a Heli. It can go as slow as one too. I’m not saying helicopters are useless, im saying Tilt Jets are better in a way. But not as cheap.
Helicopters are slower but effective enough for close air support and rescuing troops in the battlefield and landing on landing zones.
Nice idea Dropship for troop transport and close air support..
@Irobert55 Sorry about that. I mean't like it can glide to safety if all thrusters are offline.
uhm you know that gliding is unpowered flight? but besides this there is nothing to call out great design. and a possible transatmospheric spacecraft (if this isnt one allready).
