Vickers-Chrysler Robotech Systems Inc. NC-11 Auxiliary Power Unit

by Tim Wing

The NC-11 was a self-propelled auxiliary power unit used by the UN Spacy, the United Earth Defense Force (UEDF) and the United Earth Expeditionary Forces (UEEF), as well as many other militaries and private aviation companies. Rather than having a power unit
mounted on a cart, this unit simply added a fully drivable chassis that was powered by the
same generator. This unit had the distinction of be the last auxiliary power unit of its kind, as by the early twenties almost all military aircraft were powered by fusion turbines and protoculture cell energizers, thus being self-sufficient at start up. The NC-11 did stay in constant use until the Invid Invasion to service what few conventional aircraft remained in the UEDF.
