Concept for a lightweight assault class fighter.
Tried to go for a futuristic design grounded with semi-realistic functionality. The concept began with a hydraulic excavator arm that was originally going to be the weapons mount for an attack helicopter, then changed to a steam-punk-ish personel carrier and finally this!
The idea is that this ships strengths lie in its speed and maneuverability. At top speed it extends its full wingspan. When low on fuel or needs to dock quickly in rough terrain, it can extend the under arm to latch onto different surfaces/ships/beams and even verticle architecture......
