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, 2014-02-17
Grav Chariot v1.0 (TL12) Copyright 2014 by Onno Meyer The Grav Chariot is a simple contragrav vehicle, but one which takes considerable skill. That makes it suitable for exciting races or grand arrivals. The open platform has standing room for a driver and a passenger. The engines and power systems are mounted under the deck plate. The Chariot has a ducted fan with four vectored nozzles, each with a joystick and a separate throttle. Most Grav Chariots are decorated to the taste of the original owner, often ornate scrollwork and polished wooden railings. The power cell lasts for 83 minutes at top speed. Subassemblies: Body +1.
