The four external engines of this craft don't normally support its weight; presumably, the engines are used only for propulsion and directional control; some unknown effect, possible produced by the strange crystals called "levistones", may provide anti-gravitational bouyancy.
Performance: the top speed is unknown; given the presence of airlocks and a pressurized hull, the ceiling must be at least 30,000'.
The ovoid hull is approximately 10' diameter, 20' long; it has about 1000 cubic feet of volume. there are three fins spaced around the hull, and three landing legs (which retract into the hull). Overall, from the nose cone to the exhausts of the four engines, the vessel is about 30' long. It weighs about 25 tons fully loaded, 19 tons empty.
The interior consists of three compartments:
-
aft is the engineering space, containing pumps, electrical equipment, etc.
-
the lower deck contains the airlock, small galley, head, a bunk, and storage space
-
the upper deck has the two pilots' seats, and two jump seats for passengers
The miniature for this should be available in January.
