The following is based on Generals cut content and has not been confirmed by canon sources. |
The Starlifter transport was a quad tiltrotor aircraft that was cut from the final release of Generals.
Background[]
As the USA's primary heavy-lift transport helicopter, the Starlifter would essentially performed the same functions as the current Chinook, although it would have been capable of transporting more vehicles and infantry at a time due to its larger fuselage. It would have roughly the same size (and by implication, capacity) as a C-130, but would be capable of performing vertical landings.
Trivia[]
- The Starlifter's design was likely based on the Bell Boeing Quad Tiltrotor, a conceptual aircraft concept proposed to the US military.
- Modifications such as ShockWave and Rise of the Reds restore the Starlifter to its intended role.
