You've already seen my future Tank concept, so now it's on to the lighter stuff. Unlike your typical APC, which by design is co-dependant to heavy armor, air cover, dismounted infantry, and so on, just to SURVIVE in hostile territory, this one is designed to hold it's own --- and then some.
It boasts a diesel-electric Wankel rotary engine (this time with a single-rotor), a 40mm autocannon remote wepon system, fullerine-steel composite armor, fullerine "belt" tracks, simple IR camouflage, and WAAAAAAY too many other bells and whistles to even THINK of trying to cram into this tiny comment box. In addition to a full squad of 8 troops, which certain AFVs can't quite seem to manage, even with far simpler technology. *cough*M2 Bradley*cough-cough*
The Mk.80 Onza also uses shares some common parts with the Tigerwolf MBT, including tracks, wheels, and rotors (even thought the T-wolf uses 2).
Instead of bomarding you with endless paragraphs of mind-numbing information and specs, I'll upload them later as a text document.
Unless Admin suddenly intervenes, in which case you'll never find out what this baby can do.

Nice design. :) The ability to carry a full squad is definitely going to be useful, and that 40mm cannon sounds like it'll be a menace. XD
Fullerene/steel composite? Sounds interesting. Is it fullerene backed by steel, or somehow interwoven with the metal?
I look forward to the specs list. :)

The armor is basically constructed in 6 layers. A thin outer layer of steel, the first layer of fullerine ballistic cloth, a second, thicker layer of steel, a second layer of fullerine, one more thin layer of steel, and finally a kevlar spall liner (just in case).
BTW, I looked up Fullerine on Wikipedia, and found out how strong it is (brace yourself for this) --- compared to good quality stuctural steel, with an ultimate tensile strength of 750 MPa, Fullerine has an ultimate tesile strength of approximately 62000 MPa.
No, that is not a typo, it it SIXTY-TWO-THOUSAND MPa!!!

Ah, layered armor. Good idea. :) Since you're dealing with metal as part of the armor, it's a good idea to have a spall liner, too. :)
62,000 MPa? O.o Holy crap! You wouldn't need a very thick layer of fullerene in order to equal steel armor plate. It sounds like a cloth-thick layer would be plenty for even a main battle tank.
