The MC-RA 220 Construction Blimp[1] is a large non-rigid airship or blimp used for construction purposes in Bridgehead.
Specifications[]
Unlike conventional blimps, the MC-RA 220-class of airships possess two dirigible balloons for added lift. The reason behind this design choice is so that the airship could easily mount its wide and ungainly heavy lift system.[1] The balloons are protected by gas bag protection bars.[1] Despite its large size, it only requires a crew of one or it could even be fully autopiloted.[1]
The presence of what is essentially a movable skylift is needed due to the fact that the ground around Bridgehead is teeming with activity, making any ground ferrying of materials overcrowded.[1] To compensate, the RDA utilise these blimps to move large loads by air. Lift systems can hover almost indefinitely, making it cost-effective for long-term construction; it can then lower its massive payloads right on target.[1]
They often work in conjunction with both RDA Robotic Cranes, Hexbots, Construction AMP Suits and Tower Cranes to assemble and construct the various pre-fab structured into enormous power and processing plants.[1]
