Description
The KC-9 King Karnov is the latest in a series of industrial air transports created by Lockheed/CBM Industries of Gibbs. The product line started in 3001 with the KC-5. The aircraft was dubbed by the media King Karnov due to its passing resemblance to NETC's Karnov VTOL. The aircraft has seen service in both the civilian industrial and military markets. In fact the aircraft appears so similar to the Karnov that in 3012 the New Earth Trading Company filed suit that claimed that Lockheed/CBM officially named the craft the King Karnov. This lawsuit was found to be without merit and was dismissed.[1][2]
The KC-9 has a number of competitors in its field, including the Federated Suns's Cal-Boeing SA-10 "Swallow" and Andurien AeroTech's AAC-60 "Walrus" in the Free Worlds League.[1][2]
Equipment and Capabilities
The aircraft has a cargo capacity of 76 tons with access to the cargo hold via a rear door. This makes it very popular with militia and military forces.[1][2]
KCs are able to take off from short runways and land vertically via their tilt-rotor turbines. The aircraft is protected by six tons of Industrial-grade armor, able to withstand the majority of heavy weaponry.[1][2]
The KC-9 features Prop and VSTOL chassis and control modifications, and one lift hoist at the rear of the aircraft.[1][2]
Variants
- KC-5
- First production model of the King Karnov, which had Praht 450 Internal Combusion Turbines first introduced in 3001[4].[1][2]
