A sucessor to the PIA-13, the PIA-23 has the same long range interplanetary capabilities as its prevouis incarnation, but now with VTOL capabilities. This large vessel can carry hundreds of passengers and takeoff and land vertically from Droo. And with its advanced and efficient vertical engines, it can now land on the Moon and on Cylero. And this aircraft, like the PIA-13, also has the ability to takeoff from Tydos.

Regardless of how many times this craft can be landed, there is no way to eliminate the forward momentum which can allow it to be a true VTOL aircraft. So it’s VTOSL (Vertical Take off Short Landing) for the moment.
