Still upset we got the Ridley prequel garbage instead of this.

Why does it have wheels?

In order to reverse over the container when doing a pickup aboard a ship.

It can also just trundle away after dropping off a crate, instead of having to take off again.

'Cos drop ships are spaceships based on helicopters.

Virtually all military helicopters have wheels.

This looks so awesome.  I hope this movie gets made!

Still would love to see this get made. 
Its too bad Terminator: Dark Fate did so so badly. 
The red carpet tease by Cameron hinting at trying to get this jump-started would have way more weight if Terminator had done well with his involvement.  I could see Disney being like, "Well, if he could re-ignite Terminator, he can help re-ignite Aliens."
I don't see this ever being made, but a man can hope.

I love seeing stuff like this, Wasn't there something similar in ACM that was carrying the queen and got knocked down by the marines?



I made the connection as well, yeah that game did have some larger cargo dropships in it.

Hueys don't.

Either way, the design is derivative and the wheels just look clunky and tacked on.  If this was a starting point to something new - great.  But I don't care for it as a final design.

Apaches do which is the helicopter Cameron based his dropship design on.



Helicopter Skycranes all have wheels as well which Ellingson's design is based on:

And no problem with that, I'm just saying it's a sound design that could actually work in a real-world scenario. We all have different aesthetic preferences, some will like it, some won't.

It's cool.

i like the concept but some of the details don't ring true.

As a "variant" you can't be swapping the landing strut arrangement around. The original had two in front and one in rear, this one has one in front and two in rear. That would require a major redesign of the load bearing airframe inside, something beyond a "variant."

Also the vectored thrust jets poke out from strange places now. Although the ones in the back look OK. (Presumably to lift the weight of the cargo).

As for wheels? Look authentic to me.
