Fantastic new series! Thanks Scott.
I am so looking forward to these two new categories. For the record, the Transport series remains my favourite, with Bombers second. Thank you Scott for this invaluable contribution.

Then for the luvagod tell all your friends. Experience has taught me that the vast majority of all sales occur in the first day… and the first days’ sales on these two are the worst ever.
For one of the future VTOL projects you might do one on aircraft inspired by the british Rotodyne, including McDonnell’s concept using their rotor system from the XV-1 but a completely Rotodyne-inspired airframe.
