O-Wing Multi-View — Description

I decided to take on the challenge of designing an "O-Wing." It would have been easy to just put a circular wing on an X-Wing fuselage and call it a day, but that seemed like a "lazy" solution. I wanted the "O" to serve a purpose.
Eventually, I came up with the notion of making a craft similar to the Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane, a heavy-lift helicopter. The idea with the O-Wing is that it is designed to carry a wide variety of components ranging from hover-tanks, to mobile command centers, supply modules, or mobile medical centers which it can quickly drop-off on the surface of a planet without ever having to land or even come to a complete stop. Similarly, it can quickly pick up components and extract them. It's heavily armed to fend off airborne or land-based attackers.
