UH-90 ibis

Heliplane from the game "Nuclear Option"

The UH-90 Ibis was born from the PALA "fast vertical lift" program of the 2050s. The initial concept was for a medium-sized utility helicopter that could insert and extract troops and light supplies faster than existing designs. The key to this performance is its nature as a "compound helicopter".

It features a coaxial rigid rotor system that provides high levels of stable, vertical lift, but the real defining feature comes from the two reversible, turbine-electric ducted fans in a pusher configuration at the rear. These fans provide independently adjustable thrust, allowing the Ibis to be both highly manoeuvrable and achieve high cruising speeds (in excess of 500km/h in specific configurations), making it significantly faster than traditional helicopters. When it's time to land, the fans can reverse thrust, enabling pilots to decelerate and land vertically very quickly, getting in and out of a hot LZ as fast as possible.

While it naturally excels in the transport role, its speed and capacity make it a potent weapons platform. Players are able to equip multiple weapon stations, allowing the helicopter to easily transition into a pseudo-gunship role. This adaptability makes the Ibis capable of completing nearly any mission (though perhaps not as well as specialized platforms), delivering a squad of soldiers one moment and a salvo of missiles the next.
