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. My site is down for rebuilding, but sooner or later the old stuff should reappear at omeyer.gmxhome.de Onno Meyer, 2009-02-09
Cargo Lifter v1.0 (TL10) Copyright 2009 by Onno Meyer The Cargo Lifter is used on colony worlds with underdeveloped road or rail networks. It can operate from rough fields or even calm water, and it can carry 24 tons of cargo and half a dozen passengers. The Cargo Lifter has two rows of ducted fans on the sides, powered by a fusion reactor and backup power cells. The cargo hold bay has a large rear ramp and two small hatches under the fans. The reactor fuel lasts for centuries, so the range is restricted only by the need for regular maintenance and spare parts. Subassemblies: Body +6.
