Project Draco Mechanicus
In an effort to reinforce the air-defence of the Duchy I set out to build a fast, manoeuvrable fighter as a counterpart to the overwhelming force of vessels like the mighty Defenestration, my other duties as a Knight meant I should have some kind of mount, so a flying golem seemed like a good plan, plus dragons are fucking awesome.  The chassis of the dragon is based on the origami design below, i re-calculated the schematic so that a similar folding pattern could be applied to sheet metal.

Stuff

• Chassis - The chassis is both the simplest and the most important essential part.  It's in situ rewoven micro-fold surface functions as extra armor, it contains all of the kinetic accumulators which allow basic movement of limbs etc.  Built in to the design is the Glamour Ligature Energizing Articulation Manifold, the GLEAM system allows simultaneous transfer of glamour along multiple bandwidths between all modules.

• Wings - while these are technically part of the chassis, they are special on their own.  The wings are a fully articulated steel-Cavorite honeycomb composite.  They operate in two modes, the primary mode is that the wings flap as per Tethley Cob's paper, Ornithation: A Modern Vision, using a modified version of dragon pattern R6; in the secondary mode, the wings can be folded flat and energised to provide direct lift, the design of the wing structure produces ripples of energy across the wings, this mode is especially useful for silent running and enclosed spaces..

• Breath Weapon - I have included very little detail here as my design principles will be familiar to you all.  I am working on incorporating a second energetic recycler in the induction manifold to produce a supercharged (parallel) or twin-linked (series) model.  Watch this space.

• Power Reservoir - One of Spreng's designs inspired this device, I will submit it after speaking to her to resolve patent issues.  I have found a theoretical loophole which would allow a carefully aligned array of the 'instantaneous glamour transfer components' to be cross-linked, effectively short-circuiting the rematerialisation stage, creating a virtually  infinite extra-dimensional space.  There are still some buffer-issues to be resolved and a couple of infinities which need cancelling on the theory, but this technology looks promising.  The various test apparatuses have all functioned within acceptable parameters, with surprisingly low monad distortion/loss.  This may have something to do with the current low background count of sub-aetheric  flux, I will need to build more sensitive monitoring equipment to study this further.
