Helicopter, New Nevada Base

PBTD 06/5

As they moved to the new base, further out of town, and in rougher country, they decided that they needed a better way into the city, so Korbin bought a new Eurocopter X3, or ‘X-Cubed". It goes two hundred and ninety-three miles per hour, and man, it can go forever.”“Why does it have propellers on the front?” Katie asked. “Those are tractor propellers,” Calvin explained. “Instead of it having propellers on the tail it has those, and they are gear-driven from the main propellers on top. That thing won the Howard Hughes Award, which is huge in the helicopter business. This one will do just fine. It can climb over fifty-five hundred feet per minute. This helicopter is going to be a great tool to help us defeat what’s out there. This is a big step for us, one that will be scary at times, but I promise you it will all be worth it in the end.
