AIRCRAFT SPECIFICATION SHEET
Aircraft Designation: GHI VTOL-G7 "Donnerdrache"
Manufacturer: German Heavy Industries (GHI)
Chief Designer: Hauptingenieur Heinrich von Stahlkreuz
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The GHI VTOL-G7 "Donnerdrache" is a next-generation vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) gunship developed for multi-role tactical deployment. Drawing on the combat-proven legacy of gunships like the AC-130 while incorporating advanced VTOL technology, the Donnerdrache offers unmatched versatility in both close air support (CAS) and transport roles. Designed for high-intensity combat zones, the Donnerdrache is equipped with an array of weaponry and alternate configurations, ranging from heavily armed gunship roles to humanitarian missions such as mobile hospital deployment.
