Overview
The M-900 was primarily designed for transport between the various Tanoan islands but has found limited use within Altis
- Roles:
- Transportation
Design
The M-900 is based upon the MH-9 Hummingbird frame but focused more on passenger safety and comfort. One way this was achieved was the removal of the side benches and the addition of cabin doors for the crew and passengers. However, due to the same cheap construction materials used, the M-900 doesn't offer much protection to its systems or occupants if fired upon.
Features
- Due to its small footprint, the M-900 can be incredibly difficult to spot visually
- Due to the design of the engine and rotors, the M-900 can also be very difficult to hear unless you are fairly close to it.
