Ceres Skycrane (40' ISO Container Skycrane)

The Ceres Skycrane is a heavy duty helicopter capable of shipping 10' ISO, 20' ISO, and 40' ISO containers. The helicopter itself holds plenty of sensor equipment, and is capable of several altitude hold configurations. The capability to swap between 10', 20' and 40' ISO containers means you will always be able to keep your favorite containers airborne. Thanks to omni-magnets, the Ceres Skycrane is also capable of carrying small to medium non-ISO cargo.

The Ceres Skycrane can adapt for a wide range of missions thanks to specialized ISO containers tailored specifically to the Ceres's needs. The Ceres is capable of docking with these containers mid-flight, allowing passage to the containers along with limited remote control.

The control scheme of the Ceres Skycrane is relatively straightforward, but there are a few unique features:
-Selected altitude can be adjusted with dashboard buttons, allowing fine control of altitude while in auto-hover mode.
-Stationary altitude hold reduces the maximum output of the gyro, reducing vibration. This will prevent altitude maintainence while moving, and is best used for stationary stability.
-If your brother or child or parent or friend is being annoying, you can disable most of the copilot chair controls by pressing 6 on your chair.
-Primary magnets are tailored to 40' ISO and omni-magnets. Buttons on the co-pilot side allow for more precise ISO control. These can easily be reached by the pilot.
-Docking allows compatible containers to dock, allowing for greater control over them.
-Docked Container Autonomous Function toggles a pre-programmed function in compatible containers.
-Docked Container Autonomous Control Lever allows for numerical control in compatible containers.
-Compatible containers output a displayed number, which is explained on containers utilizing this function.
