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, 2009-03-02
Utility Lifter v1.0 (TL10) Copyright 2009 by Onno Meyer The Utility Lifter is used on colony worlds with underdeveloped road or rail networks. It can transport small teams and their gear and land on unimproved fields or even calm water. The Lifter is built around a fusion reactor and six ducted fans. The cockpit with two seats for the pilot and copilot opens into a C-shaped cabin for passengers and cargo. The two doors on each side are mounted to avoid the worst wash from the fans, but the Utility Lifter is not really suitable for mounting winches or similar equipment. Subassemblies: Body +5.
