Folding Rotor Light Helicopter (Civilian Aircraft)

Another IISS design intended to fit in the auxiliary vehicle bay of a Type S scout. It has less endurance than the folding wing aircraft, but the ability to lift up to 2.8 tons of cargo (with external sling) occasionally offers a useful advantage.
