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, 2013-02-18
Dirigible Aerial Cab v1.0 (TL5) Copyright 2013 by Onno Meyer When the streets of a metropolis are jammed with steamers, wagons, and carts, gentlemen with urgent business may take to the skies. This Aerial Cab seats two passengers in addition to the airshipman, or one passenger and a fair amount of luggage. Of course, many of the prototypes have been purchased by a couple of consulting detectives, who came to rather elementary conclusions regarding aerial observation. The engine burns 7.5 gallons per hour at routine speed. A full load of gasoline is $30, a load of gas and ballast is $5,180. Subassemblies: Body +3, Gasbag +8.
