Parahawks
(The World Is Not Enough)
Vehicle: Parahawks
Movie: The World Is Not Enough
Owner: Russian Atomic Anti-Terrorist Unit (on loan to Renard
via Dr. Arkov)
Status: Destroyed
Parahawks are somewhat quirky machines, but when they arrive
in force they
are not easy to shrug off.
Use
James Bond has to deal with several of these machines when they
attack unexpectedly in the Caucasus Mountains. They are extremely
slow moving, but are fitted with machine guns and parachute mines,
and end up starting an avalanche which Bond
gets caught up in.
Specs
The machines have a parachute permanently fixed to their frame.
It can be jettisoned in an emergency, but this is not advisable.
The large propeller mounted on the rear provides the forward
thrust, and on the underside are skis for more conventional travel.
