This comes with a launch pod- egg large enough for anything to fit inside it.
(Including humans and other things.)

I feel sure that that will lead to all manner of
lawsuits relating to overambitious marketing. For
example, will a pod be large enough to contain a pod
capable of containing itself? |
|
| |
That's good enough for me. |
|
| |
As long as it's big enough to deploy my rhinoceros platoon
(including the support squad), I'll be happy enough. Any
specs on maximum operational altitude and radar profile?
I'm planning a mission over the West Country in the near
future, and one of these might really come in handy. |
|
| |
The operational altitude will surely be unlimited, in
order to accommodate a launch pod- egg capable of
containing anything. |

//I'm planning a mission over the West Country//
About time those laid-back Californians got a wake-
up call. |
|
| |
Actually, I meant _your_ West Country, but if I have time
to spare I'm thinking of dropping a squad or two on
Spokane as well. |
|
| |
This is a great idea except for the part where you have
suggested it. |
|
| |
Four 's's in 'massssive' … |
|
| |
I suppose I would try it, once. |
|
| |
Ah, those Lower Devonian Schists, they've had it coming for years.. |
|
| |
Surely?! Must be baked, by now (Red Bull Flugtag-wise)... |

single seater seagull...sss |

I like how you put the s in ass in masssive. |
|
| |
Putting the SSS in deflation. |
|

Quetzalcoatlus northropi
had a wingspan as large as 15.9 meters (52.2 feet)
and a mass of about 200–250 kilograms (440–550 lb).
assuming that the Single Seat is for a 70Kg human being, then it is not imposible.
if you are in the UK look up SSDR microlights. |
|
| |
I think we're discussing something quite a bit larger, if it's
to be capable of egg-drop deployment of an entire platoon
(with support squad) of rhinoceros commandos. |

A Chinook Seagull? Twin rotor, payload of 12.7
tonne, or 30-55 troops. |
|
| |
A chinook is a fish too so it would be amphibious. |
|
| |
Shirley, a 'chinook seagull' would be an ouroborotic
fish/bird, then? |
