	In 2213, Engineers at Cyten-Ward Industries proposed an advanced, super-heavy cargo aircraft using Immanemque wing, tail, and engine components. The project, dubbed the ZHLA-150 Mer Énorme, would be a gigantic six-engine jet with a 195m long fuselage, 135m wing and cargo space for at least 90x20m loads. The ZHLA-150 was designed to carry over 1500 tons of cargo, with some versions stretching the payload capacity all the way to 3,000 tons, and be able to load cargo via large self-contained ramps. Two designs were drawn up, one with a massive, 40m diameter fuselage and gigantic, 120 ton swinging door in the nose, which included the cockpit and flight instruments, the other a large, flat bed for exposed cargo to sit behind the permanent nose cone. The proposed designs both came to a cost figure of nearly 1.25m Zokesian Thalers, though costs were expected to be reduced considerably by using spare Immanemque engines, wing spars, and tailplanes from uncompleted aircraft. Though these would be by a considerable margin the largest aircraft ever flown on Kerbin, the project was cancelled due to funding constraints and neither design was ever built.

−	The ZHLA-75-3 was designed around a central tennant to carry 250 tons of cargo, while simultaneously able to handle large, bulky loads that most airlifters are unable to carry. Its 10m x 10m x 50m cargo hold has a floor-to-ceiling capacity of 3,700 cubic meters of cargo, enabling it to carry large helicopters, heavy machinery, or bulk fuel shipments. With a range of 700km, the Immanemque is able to also operate at rough and unprepared fields thanks to its robust landing gear array and large wing area. The maximum takeoff weight is 600,000 kg, or nearly two and a half times its unladen weight.	+	The ZHLA-75-3 was designed around a central tennant to carry 250 tons of cargo, while simultaneously able to handle large, bulky loads that most airlifters are unable to carry.

−	In 2202, the New Engine Option upgrade for the Immanemque saw the mounting of four CWI HB-03 Turbofan engines.

	ZHLA-75-5 was never completed during initial production. Designed to carry more heavy tonnage loads, the ZHLA-75-5 was going to include on-board cranes for moving cargo and bulkheads to separate cargo. Multiple announcements were made regarding the potential completion of the third airframe, though its construction largely remained on hold due to a lack of funding. By 2200, it had reportedly been brought up to 60–70% completion.		ZHLA-75-5 was never completed during initial production.
