  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. With a slight delay, old vehicles appear

ArcoTech Ambulance Sled v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10)
  Copyright 2006 by Onno Meyer

  Even in the orderly environment of an arcology, contragrav flyers have 
their place. They can turn in extremely narrow quarters and move between 
different floors without lifts or ramps.
  The Ambulance Sled has two automeds in the rear and two crew seats in 
front. Two extra seats can hold additional medics or passengers if they 
are not folded up to make room for cargo and access space. The Sled has 
twin thrusters and CG units, powered by rechargeable energy cells or by 
microwave power transmission in the major corridors of some arcologies.  
The Ambulance Sled is sealed against pressure loss, but not fitted with 
an airlock (or enough room to move patients in vacc suits).  
  The two power cells last for 5 hours at the top speed of 135 mph. The 
microwave power receiver allows indefinite flight at 35 mph.

Powertrain: Two 300-lb. vectored reactionless thrusters; two 3,000-lb.
