{{main|Landa}}
Landa is a name for large transport aircraft Orks use to land troops and smaller vehicles from orbiting spacecraft to the surface and to quickly move them from one battlefield to another. They are slower and more ponderous than any Ork or [[Imperial Aircraft]] but are extremely tough and can ignore damage deadly to most aircraft. Landas are equipped with numerous gun turrets and rokkits that allow them to lay down an impressive rain of fire against enemy aircraft that get close enough or support disembarking troops once on the ground.{{Fn|4}}
===Ork Assault Boat===
{{main|Ork Assault Boat}}
Orks make use of assault boats for boarding actions during space battles. More or less equivalent to other races' counterparts, they basically are an Ork-filled armoured shell with a piercing beak at one end and a great big engine at the other. Resembling [[Boarding Torpedo]]es almost as much as they do [[Attack Craft]], these machines are quite effective at delivering their deadly cargo to a target despite their simplistic nature.{{Fn|7}}
===Ork Drop Pod===

Orks are also known to use starship-launched landing craft, analogous to [[Space Marine]] [[Drop Pod]]s, although usually far larger. Sometimes referred to as '''Krash-Kapsuls''', they were used during The Fires of Phaistos. They are rarely used as most Orks prefer to use [[Rok]]s as makeshift drop pods.{{Fn|6}}
===Kustom Aircraft===
{{main|Ork Minelayer}}
Some Ork [[Mekboy]]s don't limit themselves with any logical concepts and create custom vehicles to their liking. Their work may result in all kinds of bizzare aircraft, all of which are inevitably deadly on the battlefield.
