United States Army: The principal operator of the pre-War production run of VB-01 Vertibirds. A large number of VB01 craft were once again pressed into service by the eastern division of the Brotherhood of Steel, having not been used since the days of the Appalachian Brotherhood of Steel, becoming widely used by 2287. These gunships were used in a decidedly military capacity. In 2277, Enclave forces that relocated to the Capital Wasteland deployed a large fleet of Vertibirds to support their ground operations in the region. One aircraft was assigned for transporting the NCR President, receiving a special white and green paint scheme and the designation Bear Force One. When the Navarro military base was later conquered by the NCR, a Vertibirds stationed at the base were put into military service, used for transportation duties. The destruction of the oil rig later that year has likely destroyed a large number of aircraft in the Enclave's service. Around 2242, the Chosen One stole the Vertibird Plans from the Navarro base, making it possible that the Vertibird plans ended up in the hands of various factions of the wasteland. These were used extensively in field operations on the West Coast, which include trading with the Salvatore family of New Reno, capturing of test subjects for the FEV Curling-13 research programme from Arroyo and Vault 13 and more. The second generation Vertibird was produced into two distinct versions: a transport design, with a large glass canopy, six non-retractable landing struts, a spacious cargo bay and seven-bladed rotors for extra lift, and a gunship, with a heavily armored hull, four rotor blades, four retractable landing struts, and better armament. Limited trial runs were developed and pressed into service, including winterized models during the last stages of the Anchorage Reclamation The Enclave would finish prototyping the VBĠ2 at the Control Station Enclave, along with the X-01 power armor, sometime after the Great War and begin producing the VB02 en masse. 
When the Great War struck in 2077, the XVB02 Vertibird was still in the prototype phase, scheduled to enter full military service in 2085. Following the success of what became known as the VB01 Vertibird, the military commenced work on a superior model, hoping to improve on virtually every aspect of the original: Better armor, better weapons, better speed and cargo capacity, everything. While utilized early on in the days before the Great War, certain companies got word of its development, and began planning the use of it for their own methods. To modify, please edit the source page.ĭeveloped by the Department of Defense, the original Vertibird was created as a multipurpose tiltrotor vertical take-off aircraft. The following section is transcluded from Vertibird.
