[NOTE: This comes with gravity stabilizers switched on by default. To toggle these, press the programmable block icon in the first toolbar. If this does not work, turn on scripts in your world, or turn off the gyro override in the control panel.]

The Su-115 "Burevestnik" (Petrel) is an all-environment SSTO troop transport designed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau in the year 2057 to provide close air support and troop mobility both on-planet and in space. Originally used exclusively by Spetsnaz Group Vympel, this aircraft was eventually mass produced for use as a troop transport for the entire Red Army.

The Su-115 is a single-pilot hydrogen/atmospheric/ion powered aircraft. The aircraft can carry up to 6 passengers in its internal troop bay, and has a respawn room for additional convenience. It features two parachutes to assist with reentry, and is capable of breaking gravity of any of the vanilla planets.

The Su-115 has increased loiter time in-atmosphere due to its large complement of atmospheric thrusters, but it is recommended to keep an eye on hydrogen fuel levels or even turn the hydrogen thrusters off entirely for prolonged atmospheric use. It is also recommended to keep some amount of ice in the cargo container for the many O2/H2 generators to use.

No rotors essential to vehicle function. No mods. Designed to be practical for survival use.
