Autogyro

Perhaps AmigaDE / Intent as Airline:

All of their aircraft are autogyros.
At first nobody believe it will fly.

The aircraft have propeller, but no fixed wing.
The aircraft have rotor, but the rotor IS NOT
powered by the engine!

It's some sort of strange Helicopter & Airplane hybrid!

Boeing Harrier Jet

Hi
Another airplane suitable for AmigaDE Airlines!

Boeing's Harrier Jet (licensed from Hawker Siddeley, UK) is a "slow" fighter jet, but with strange capability:

1. Vertical take off /landing. It can literally "Jump" from short runway / aircraft carrier. For landing, it can drop down vertically!

2. It can "stop", "hover", make sharp turn in midair during dogfight, and stay behind the enemy jet fighter chasing the Harrier. This famous maneuver cann't be done by other jet fighter. Even F-16 cann't beat Harrier sharp turn maneuver!

3. The nozzle design of the future US jet fighter is based on Harrier's technology.

F-16 vs Harrier

Hello
AmigaOS Airlines:
A special airlines with all Airship fleet!

There are 2 kind of Airship: Dirigibles (with Frame, based on Hydrogen) and Blimp (No frame, based on Nitrogen).

History:
1. First and second non stop "Crossing Atlantic" journeys are using Dirigibles, not Charles Lindberg and his airplane.  

Crossing Atlantic

2. There are 2 major home computer wars between airlines.  Unfortunately Amiga Airlines lost the first war (US$ 1000 / less home computer) and forced to close (ie Bankrupt).

3. Between the war, a German company bought Amiga Airlines, but the Airlines was closed after the famous tragic crash of their flagship "ESCOM". After the fatal crash, new rumour appear: Amiga Curse!

4. After the second war (Internet, GUI), a giant US Airlines (Gateway) buy Amiga Airlines and try to revive it using Nitrogen base airship. Unfortunately the attempt also end with another crash of Flagship "MCC". Amiga Airlines almost bring down Gateway Airlines with its curse.

Post War

5. Early 2000, another American company, Amino, try to revive Amiga Airlines using blimp concept (Nitrogen,  no rigid frame). Unfortunately the attempt face several hurdle because of Amiga curse.

The financial supporter of Amino, the Billionaire George Soros and Dr Pentti Kouri also suffer from the famous curse. George Soros is convicted in France Court for insider trading case, and Kouri Capital went bankrupt in May 2001 with several million Dollar unpaid debt. Kouri Capital also bring down American Heritage fund.

6.  Amiga Inc try to use new strange technology "Autogyro" (Flagship: AmigaDE / AA), but there is a problem in intergrating AutoGyro with Airship.

Unfortunately this project also run into problems and promise of small, agilent and highly manueverable  airship (flagship: ZAURUS) and  High Altitude Platform System / HAPS for broadband Internet (flagship: NOKIA STB) also cancelled because of the famous curse.

HAPS

7. Recently there is another attempt to revive "All Airship" Airlines by Thendic, a company in German.
Unfortunately their MorphOS Airline and its flagship "Pegasos" (flying horse) also face difficult hurdle.
