The Bruckner Typhoon- Model C68

2858 was the model year that marked the point at which Bruckner Aircars joined the mainstream of contemporary aircar manufacturers. Previously known only to hardcore explorers and adventure seekers for their rugged ex-military Hummel II and Dragonfly models, The Typhoon would change that image and open new markets. 

The story behind why Bruckner chose to make the Typhoon actually began a couple of years before at a popular rally event held on the Bruckner's home world Nerthus. 

Hummels and the smaller Dragonflies had always been a popular vehicle choice at the rally, but aside from a few minor wins, they were usually overshadowed by larger, faster or flashier craft. 

But a tragic accident would forever changed all that.  

Hummels had always been known for their rugged design and efficient, dependable magnadynes.

Nothing could have illustrated that better then when the bright red custom Hummel II being piloted by celebrity aviatrix and pop star Anna Murdock was struck by a larger Thorello Lightning Pk21 during the Pan-Nerthus Rally in 2855. 

The Lightning had attempted to cut off Murdock, but instead struck her craft's tail drive, partly severing it and completely destroying the vertical magnadyne assembly. 

The Lightning piloted by rival driver Ernesto Kain had sheared off its own port nacelle and pitched violently downward exploding on the valley floor. The collision sent Murdock's Hummel into a violent spin, but despite the heavy damage she managed to regain control and safely land at the next checkpoint 200 Kilometers away. Photos of Murdock's Hummel landing with its mangled smoldering tail took the headlines.

Shortly after the race inquiries regarding purchasing a Hummel (or "Typhoon" as many believed the model was called) began to pour in, prompting Bruckner to consider manufacture of a more comfortable civilian version. 

It is said that Karl Bruckner's last greatest decision was to market the revamped Hummel/Typhoon to the consumer market and thus cemented Bruckner as a manufacturer of rugged(perhaps somewhat quirky at times), iconic and beloved aircar designs. 

This model has been tested in Poser and DAZ Studio. It was made for use in Poser, But will function in Studio. The MAT pose files and Poser materials however will not work in DAZ Studio. 

The model includes several moving parts,

Front and rear seats move forward and back, and recline backward.

Steering yoke turns and tilts and center console lid can open/close.

Wing steps fold down and slide froward.

The model also comes with 29 exterior MAT files (plus one for default red color) as well as two additional interior color sets.
