The Skycrane has no fuselage worth speaking of, and that is deliberate. It is a spine, an engine and a lifting hook, so whatever it carries hangs where a cabin would otherwise be. Fitted with a tank, it becomes the aircraft that refills from a lake in under a minute and goes back to the fire.
The airframe holds 565,022 polygons and 609,970 vertices in quads and tris with non-overlapping UVs, textured with 31 maps all at 4096x4096. It carries CheckMate Lite and Pro certification, and a rigged build is offered separately.
At $149 it suits emergency services and wildfire visualization, documentary and news graphics, film and television, flight simulation and game environments. On sale since 2020.
