[Onno Meyer]

  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

Instellarms Model 24 Supply Container v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL10)
  Copyright 2006 by Onno Meyer

  The Model 24 Supply Container is a reusable drop capsule with limited 
atmospheric guidance. It can hold 0.1 displacement tons of cargo or one 
person (perhaps two in lightweight vacc suits). A contragrav unit slows 
the fall and aerodynamic control surfaces allow remote or computerized 
control. The Model 24 has minimal stealth to evade shoulder-fired SAMs 
as it glides down to a dead stick landing.
  The power cell lasts for 2 hours of operation.
