I think this VTOL is built to carry a special forces member and lots of equipment for him (special forces member = pilot!).

Coool That makes sense. (used to working in pounds so kg throw me off). I know that during WW2 the paratroopers would usually jump with up to 300lbs of gear. (if I can find the link to back that up I will post it). And alot of it was gear that they werent using.

300 lbs? Wow thats 136 kg! (But I think the parachute was calculated in.)
I´ve read a book that says a modern infantry trooper carries about 50 kg equipment with him. Thats 110 lbs to march around with!

This vehicle would make good courier for express delivery. Bigger civilian companies would buy one or two.

Oh we offer discounts for bulk purchase. And looking at it I would say around 8K for each would per a excellent price. (My character has a company in the new game we are playing and this is whe the company is going to be making.) So bulk purchases would drop the price to 3.5 to 4.5K each.
