10 passenger grav shuttle

[Proneutron]

This is a 10 passenger, 500 kph grav shuttle. Common medium range transport vehicle. Requires one pilot. Holds fuel for one week of operation. High altitude but not vacuum capable.

High altitude, but only capable of 500 kph, not ~0.8 Mach? Is it an unstreamlined brick?

Read the data sheet. It is all on there. Did you read the sheet? o:

Isn't that like reading the directions? Keep it in reserve for when all else fails . . .

Yes, I've seen more than two new boat owners like that with their expensive toys on the bottom. Same mentality. Fun to watch, from a distance.

Yes, the entry that says "Chassis: Streamlined" and the entry that says "Propulsion: 500kph" are incompatible. So, either they've defined a brick as "streamlined" compared to an open spaceframe, or they're using a fusion powered grav drive to spin a propeller (speed comparable to a C-130).

This is your opportunity for brainstorming, since I'm sure the poster used RAW. I'm sure there are at least four more possible reasons than that. Then you get a 1D6 table for the referee to roll on.

Okay fine.

3. The controls only allow 500kph flight.
4. The drive only allows 500kph flight.
5. Civilian grav-compensation limits typical turns so that ...
6. While streamlined, yet it is not fully mach-rated.

This is a Mongoose design, right?

I can approximate this design using T5, by Flyer and by Grav Vehicle and by military Troop Carrier designs, so it's fine.

Good choice. Optimal subsonic and supersonic streamlining are not identical.

Can't. Link is broken.
