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, 2006-12-17
ArcoTech Ambulance Sled v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10) Copyright 2006 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 Ambulance Sled has two automeds in the rear and two crew seats in front. Two extra seats can hold additional medics or passengers if they are not folded up to make room for cargo and access space. The Sled has twin thrusters and CG units, powered by rechargeable energy cells or by microwave power transmission in the major corridors of some arcologies. The Ambulance Sled is sealed against pressure loss, but not fitted with an airlock (or enough room to move patients in vacc suits). The two power cells last for 5 hours at the top speed of 135 mph. The microwave power receiver allows indefinite flight at 35 mph. Subassemblies: Body +3. Powertrain: Two 300-lb. vectored reactionless thrusters; two 3,000-lb. contragrav generators; 6-kW beamed power receiver; two 360,000-kWs rechargeable E cells. Occ: 2 CCS, 2 folding CS.
