AWG AH-42 "Dragonfly" (top view)
Although rotor-wing airframes were being phased out before the beginning of the Great War, the AWG AH-42 "Dragonfly" was a favorite among the Marines who flew them. Renowned for their maneuverability and surprisingly, their speed, Dragonflies could also unleash a terrifying amount of firepower into their prey. Typically outfitted with small wing pylons with the ability to carry a variety of munitions, the pylons could also be jettisoned once the weapons were spent. Dragonflies also had a trait unique to the airframe- both the rotors AND wings could change pitch independently of eachother. To reach it's top speed, the wings would rotate out and down, and the rotors reverse rotation direction to become props.
Despite sporting two large rotors, Dragonflies were relatively quiet and were used with much success for quick target-destroy missions.
When returning from missions, Dragonflies were affectionately refferred to as being "nekkid" without the bottom wing pylons.
This model shown with green forest camoflauge.
