Examples of Rotorcraft-
-Wikipedia Entry on Rotorcraft
-Apache Longbow
-Little Bird
-Hind
-Gyrocopter
-CV-22 Osprey
I would request that no model is based entirely off a real vehicle. While taking inspiration is fine, originality is key here. Please note that while I say Rotorcraft, there are a lot of different ways of producing them, and all this really requires is a rotor on the aircraft in question so as to be fully or partially propelled by a rotor.

Mbob: The Hunter
Its twin rotors not only give it a great deal of power, but because of their position and pivoting, allow the hunter to change altitude incredibly quickly. Both are operated independently, giving the pilot maximum control of the speed and height. In terms of turning, the 2 jets at the back can be activated, pumping out large amount of of air from both an internal storage and from the large intake at the top. Like the rotors, both can be altered individually, giving the pilot the up most control.
Weaponry wise, the Hunter is armed with 4 anti ground cluster missiles.





Pirate: Mogahr Airship
The Mogahr airship, this at the first sight, fairytale looking like airship, is propelled by the rotors on the sides, while kept afloat by both helium balloons (where the rotors are attached) and the main rotors on the deck. the ship is armed by 2 cannons concealed behind the hatches on the bow. It has another hatch on the bottom, from which bombs could be dropped or which could hide a winch.




General Kenobi: Heavy Transport
It's based on the USAF CV-22, but works more as a Heavy Transporter on Generals, armed with 3 cannons on the front plus 2 rocket pods on each wing more 2 MGs on the sides. Can transport 10 infantry or 2 tanks. Can turn itself to a helicopter to performe precision strikes and unload tanks.





Pav3d: Mancheraptor
Missiles work the same way as an RL F-22, theyre hidden when not in use and just pop out the sides (at least thats how I think they work...). I tried to combine the design of the commanche and the f-22 hence the inspired name.

Mr. Mylo: AH-99 Phantom
Canard Wing Rotorcraft supposed to replace the Comanche and Apache in future


Stalker: Tigershark Gunship
A very fast helicopter with long-range rocket pods. Like a Flying Rocket Buggy, also armed with 2 Anti-Air missiles.




Prawn: High Versatility Hover Jet
A versatile VTOL jet that's armed with a rotary cannon and two AA missiles. It's built for maneuverability and agility.
