This comes with a launch pod- egg large enough for anything to fit inside it.

(Including humans and other things.)

// large enough for anything to fit inside it.//

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?

Also, why?

I have know idea.
-- skinflaps, May 16 2012


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.
-- Alterother, May 16 2012


The operational altitude will surely be unlimited, in order to accommodate a launch pod- egg capable of containing anything.

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.

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.
-- Alterother, May 18 2012


A Chinook Seagull? Twin rotor, payload of 12.7 tonne, or 30-55 troops.
-- UnaBubba, May 18 2012


A chinook is a fish too so it would be amphibious.
-- AusCan531, May 18 2012


Shirley, a 'chinook seagull' would be an ouroborotic fish/bird, then?

[j paul], welcome back.
