This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. With a slight delay, old vehicles appear at http://omeyer.gmxhome.de/GURPSnet_files/summary.html Onno Meyer, 2007-01-01
ArcoTech Fire Sled v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10) Copyright 2007 by Onno Meyer Even in the orderly environment of an arcology, contragrav flyers have their place. They can turn in extremely narrow quarters and move between different floors without lifts or ramps. The Fire Sled carries a water cannon with 200 gallons of foam and six firefighters. It can fly, so there is no need for a ladder, but the Fire Sled has a winch to recover people from places where it cannot land. It has twin thrusters and contragrav units, powered by rechargeable energy cells or microwave power transmissions in the larger corridors. The five power cells last for 12 hours at the top speed of 130 mph. The microwave power receiver allows indefinite flight at 30 mph. Subassemblies: Body +3, full-rotation Open Mount -1.
