Description[edit]
The Dixon was originally designed as a law enforcement airship for the Free Worlds League. A number of these vehicles were converted into mobile fire suppression air vehicles for dense urban centers.[1][2]
During the Jihad the Word of Blake used some Dixon airships in attacks on civilians.[4]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The airship's primary equipment is its four sprayers (2 mounted front, 1 per side) and communication equipment.[1][2]
Cargo Capacities[edit]
It has 181-ton liquid cargo capacity. The vehicle was reconfigured to have a 9.44-ton standard cargo capacity. Its cargo is unloaded through three doors found on the nose and both left and right wing sections. It also has a cargo lift hoist to bring up cargo itself.[1][2]
Related Design[edit]
