PHX-HK2 Phoenix Hawk LAM (Land-Air-Mech)
http://www.heavygauss.com/MEDIUM/phoenixhawkLAM3.jpg
Mass: 50 tons
Chassis: Dort 100
Power Plant: 250 Allied Fusion 250
Cruising Speed: 54.0 km/h
Maximum Speed: 86.4 km/h
Jump Jets: Allied AVRTech 125 Jet Propulsion
Jump Capacity: 150 meters
Armor: Durallex Light
Armament:
1 Amsterdam 120 Large Laser
2 Maxum 50 Medium Lasers
2 Sperry Browning Machine Guns
Manufacturer(s):
Allied AeroSpace, Inc.
Communications System: Hartford J25 A
Targeting & Tracking System: Hartford S2000
Overview:
Prior to the fall of the Star League, many firms
experimented with the LAM concept. Allied AeroSpace
Inc. began two such research projects, one involving the
Shadow Hawk and the other involving the Phoenix Hawk.
The Shadow Hawk tests proved to be a costly failure. The
sheer size of the 'Mech made it too difficult to convert. In
2830, the firm abandoned these tests to concentrate on
converting the aerodynamic Phoenix Hawk.
Within two years, the LAM version of the Phoenix
Hawk was completed and sold to the Star League
Regular Army. At nearly twice the size of the Wasp and
Stinger LAMS, already being marketed through the Inner
Sphere, it was the largest LAM to be manufactured.
The 'Mech was not without faults. Its fighter landing
gear did not respond well, due to the bulky conversion
equipment. Even a minimal amount of damage could be
fatal if it prevented the landing gear from lowering.
Although some corrections were made, the problem was
not resolved before the fall of the Star League. Most of the
Phoenix Hawk LAMs still operative have this fault.
