the F.A.N.G., Mark 3

All of Cobra's F.A.N.G.s (or Fully Armed Negator Gyrocopters) are lightweight, stripped down, open-cockpit helicopters that Cobra uses to quickly (and cheaply) supplement its air force. The Mark 3 is no exception to this rule, but features an updated, streamlined design.

It has these vehicular characteristics:

Body Armor (s): the F.A.N.G., Mark 3, is built from modern lightweight, composite materials. It is nonetheless quite sturdy, having an effective material strength of 10. However, due to its configuration the Mark 3 only offers its pilot +1 protection from attack.

Bombs (i): the Mark 3 F.A.N.G. can carry two bombs in flight, one on each side, just over its landing skids. These powerful explosives inflict intensity 13 fragmentary damage to whatever is below the vehicle, +1 if both bombs are used simultaneously.

Flight (a): naturally the primary use for this vehicle, the Mark 3 F.A.N.G. autogyro is capable of flying at pretty decent speeds - and for quite awhile, too. It can fly at up to intensity 6 air speeds (225 m.p.h.), and may do so for up to 600 miles before it must land for a refueling.

Heat-Seeking Air to Air Rockets (i): the secondary armament on the Mark 3 F.A.N.G., this bottom-mounted missile can be used to inflict considerable damage to other airborne vessels in its vicinity. It tracks a target by its heat signature, and can inflict intensity 11 damage upon impact.

Machine Guns (a): the main weapon on the Mark 3 F.A.N.G. is its twinned, rotary-barreled cannons, mounted on the front of the craft. It can fire a short burst of lead to inflict the pilot's Agility +6 damage, raised to his or her Agility +7 damage in a stream of sustained fire.
