Farnsworth Dragonfly Pre Production Dropship

[Dr Farnsworth]

Good news everyone!

Farnsworth Rocket Surgery and Rubber Toaster Delivery Industries Inc. is finishing the final phase of testing on their new Dragonfly dropship/lander!

They are happy to report that the Dragonfly has been almost 82% explosion free (so far).

The Dragonfly's mission profile is to rescue or transport up to four Kerbals from places to other places (no guarantee is expressed or implied upon instances of Kerbals not being alive upon delivery).

Now with 100% more docking capacity for station attaching-ness.

Can be piloted without a pilot or even a Kerbal. The Farnsworth engineering department has guaranteed us that this is not magic.

Rubber toast not included.

Our pilots report trips from Kerbin station to the surface of Minmus and back to be a trivial affair. One brave large bladder equipped test pilot took it as far as Ike without episode. Refueling was performed at the Ike refueling station. Inconclusive data on if the Dragonfly could make a round trip without refueling.

The specificity of the specifics are as such and so forth as follows:

Parts= 72

Full weight= 27.2 tons

Empty weight= 11.2 tons

DV= 3045 (vacuum) Delta V calculations came from http://www.strout.net/info/science/delta-v/intro.html

If interested parties are interested in pursuing piloting this pre production product please procure the proper requisition request to the required Farnsworth mail depository.

As the future unfolds more Farnsworth crafts will be forthcoming forthwith!
