Description

Although originally concieved as an interim solution to an aging heavy transport fleet, the LU-7 "Husky" found itself a coalition mainstay as continued operations against rimworld insurgencies demonstrated the utility of a fast, adaptable, multirole shuttlecraft.

designed as a cost-effective ion-turbojet spaceplane, an atmospheric airframe gives the LU-7 the capacity to conduct extended planetary operations. This makes the "Husky" an ideal platform for Search and Rescue, Extended Reconnaissance, and Special Forces Insertion roles; as well as an expedient frontline logistics vehicle and dynamic CAS platform with extended loiter capability.

The LU-7's low cost, versatility, and power have made it an integral part of coalition airborne forces. Saurian Industries extends its gratitude to the UESC for considering the LU-7 "Husky" for its Next Generation Dropship program and hopes for expedient success in its ventures.

You do need a ship with a pretty big hangar to transport it effectively, however. Can't tell you how many times I've just about taken the wingtips off on the edges of a hangar door that was JUST too small.

thank you so much! I'm honored that people are still downloading this. Makes me really happy to hear that you've found this helpful pulling weight in its intended role :)

Definitely could see increasing maneuver thrusters if I ever come back to the platform.

Boy is this thing handy to have on the Star System map. If you do a lot of hauling missions like I do, this little bugger is a godsend. A few modifications to the landing gear to more securely anchor it in place and you've got a great little platform to get from your ship in orbit down to the surface.
The only downside I'd list is its lack of thrusters in certain places make it clumsy in tight maneuvers.
I appreciate that it's completely battery powered, so as not to leech valuable uranium from its host ship.
