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. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml Onno Meyer, 2012-04-01
Commuter Jet v1.0 (TL7 7/8th) Copyright 2012 by Onno Meyer The Commuter Jet is a compact little plane with two seats in the open cockpit. The pilot has the forward seat and one passenger gets the rear seat. The Jet has sharp delta wings and small canards for improved lift at low speeds. It needs less than 70 yards for takeoff (and rather more for landing -- brakes are for nerds). At routine speed, the turbofan burns 60 gallons per hour. A full load of jet fuel is $180. Subassemblies: Body +2, three retractable Wheels -1, two STOL Wings +0. Powertrain: 2,000-lb. afterburning turbofan; 400-kWs lead-acid battery. Fuel: 60 gallons jet fuel (fire on 13). Occ: 2 XCCS.
