DU replica of the UD-4L Cheyenne Dropship from the film Aliens.
The ship is coloured in black as there aren't any good looking matte military green honeycomb in the game currently.
This dropship has togglable vertical atmospheric engines that uses Alt+9 to toggle the VTOL capability on and off. Switching off the VTOL capability during flight will save a lot of fuel and mitigates the former problem of VTOLs draining the fuel tanks. Now you'll only need VTOL capability during take off or landing and can switch off the vertical engines during flight.
For an overview of the dropship, you can view the testing and features of the dropship in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4MAYsLxLCs
NOTES:
Cargo Lift: 1kt to space from Alioth (with the use of a drop pod - Shown in video).
Sustentation Speed: Ship shows 0kmh sustentation speed because of the vertical engines.
VTOL: Powered by 6 Advanced Maneuver Atmospheric Engines L (2 second warm up time without skills)
Forward Thrust: Powered by 5 Advanced Military Atmospheric Engines.
Hover: No hover engines but Vertical Boosters give 3.17g of low altitude lift. Combined with VTOL, gives a total of 5.42g of low altitude lift.
