Description
This model is typical of a
number of models of light hovercraft in civilian and
military use. It has exceptional performance
over both water and most types of land terrain,
although its performance in dense woods is limited
to established roads and paths; performance in
heavily broken ground is nil. A wide variety of
options and additional equipment are available,
making it possible for the user to customize the
model to suit individual requirements and
specifications. Adaptation packages are available to
fit out a Songbird for extremely hot, cold, wet, or
arid environments. Since hovercraft dont work in
vacuum environments, there is no vacuum package, but
equipment can be installed to convert the Songbird
for nonstandard atmospheres (including
non-breathable ones).
Military Models:
The military version of the Songbird, called the
Warbird, comes with a small winch in the back hull,
a pintle mount on the overhead crossbar, a less
comfortable interior, and a dull, gray-green,
factory paint job. Individual camouflage schemes can
be ordered from the factory for Warbirds purchased
in lots of 12 or more. |
