The Karnov UR Transport is a heavy lift helicopter. It is no longer known when the Karnov first entered service, but most experts believe it is a Terran design hundreds of years old. Equally puzzling is the fact that the Karnov is currently sold by the New Earth Trading Company, NETC has no known VTOL production facilities, nor does any other firm admit to producing the Karnov on a sub-contractual basis with NETC. It is already a century since New Earth first began to offer new Karnovs for sale, however. Their sales representatives write up the orders and the Karnovs arrive on the next NETC DropShip. Whatever its origin, the Karnov has proven to be a reliable and hardy machine. All of the Successor State armed forces and many mercenary units use at least some Karnovs for supply and logistics missions. Many commercial firms also use the Karnov for local transportation of cargo and as a flying crane.
The Karnov UR is built around a DAV 190 I.C.E. aircraft engine, which is known for its superior reliability and ruggedness. Centrally mounted in the top of the fuselage, the DAV connects by drive shafts that extend down the fixed wing to pylons, where the twin rotor blades are housed. The pylons are able to rotate in a 90-degree arc, which allows the Karnov UR horizontal speeds of close to 184 kph. This makes it one of the fastest heavy transport VTOLs in use.
