The Dean Files Hydra Grav Fighting Vehicle (Civilian Aircraft)

The Hydra GFV emphasizes firepower and speed at the expense of protection, duration, and sensor capacity. Highly automated, it requires a crew of only two, with the commander controlling the guns with a "point and shoot" map display interface. The main turret carries the 100MW pulse laser, with a smaller turret mounted on top of it with the 20MW PD pulse laser. The PA-10 plasma guns are in side sponsons, and cannot be fired within 5 degrees of straight forward or straight back.
