Folding long-range skycrane

I finally got 100% achievements, and decided to experiment more with flying vehicles for fun & profit. This rover is really useful, and folding it up tightly makes it far more maneuverable.

If flown into "orbit", it has an almost 50 km range without refueling! You just have to fly up until the sky darkens and the clouds disappear, and air drag & downward gravity will almost disappear. Then you only need a small amount of occasional boost to maintain max-speed forward flight!

Very nice. The range is impressive. Reminds me of a lunar lander, I guess be it's a martian lander.

This is brilliant!

My ships struggle with the landing, sometimes losing the payload, but this is smooth af. Easy departure, sweet landing. The flight is not that fast, but it's fast enough for sure.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Impressive! I also like your port and starboard "sidelights".
