Editing Speeder

[[File: Wiki Navy.png|right]]
The [[Speeder]] is type of [[Personal Vehicle]], a streamlined [[Gravcraft|grav-powered craft]] intended for high speed transport between points on a world surface. 


== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
At the [[tech level]] of introduction, it is capable of 1,000 kph cruise speed (maximum speed is 1200 kph), and has a virtually unlimited range. Refueling is required every ten weeks from a ship's [[power plant]]. The speeder carries a driver-pilot, a single passenger, and 100.0 kg of cargo. The speeder is capable of reaching orbit within an hour. More advanced craft are capable of higher speeds.

[[Speeder]]s are often used in Racing, and by the Rich and Famous as Luxury Vehicles. Some Ambulance services use [[Speeder]]s to enable first-responders to get to the scene of a call-out rapidly.

== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
Speeders hold considerable performance advantages over earlier models of [[gravcraft]] and represent a paradigm change in grav technology. The combination of conventional [[aircraft]] and [[gravcraft]] features makes for combination more capable than most conventional [[aircraft]] or [[gravcraft]]. 

Early speeders were outperformed by hypersonic aircraft and scramjet equipped [[spaceplane]]s, but by the [[TL:13-15]] [[technological epoch]], advanced speeders outperform the majority of their conventional competitors.
