Sky Rover Air Utility Vehicle

The Air Utility Vehicle is a fusion powered vehicle fitted with a Barnes-Gutierrez Engine. It is open topped and not pressurized.

The Sky Rover is a versatile vehicle which seats five. It can carry 12.5 cuft of cargo in its boot and substantially more in lieu of passengers. It is primarily designed as a working vehicle for use outside urban traffic areas. Although it is fitted with a central traffic control system, it is designed to be flown using manual controls or its own automatic pilot unit. The flight control system includes a multiscanner and passive array sensor. The Sky Rover model has both a standard long-range radio and a laser communicator, and is quite capable of maintaining communication with an orbiting spacecraft.
A light duty tractor/pressor beam assembly allows for manipulation of external cargo or towing. It can easily lift two people in an emergency.
Lights are mounted on the front of the vehicle for forward illumination. And it has standard aerial running lights. Landing lights are mounted in recessed fixtures beneath the vehicle for night landings. It maintains its own artificial gravity field, allowing for high G maneuvers without impacting passenger comfort.
The vehicle has a light duty force field, which can be adjusted to act as a rain cover or to maintain an environmental bubble, although then a life support system must be installed in the boot rack.
The windshield has reactive tinting and meets the highest standards for aerial fauna strikes.
Ventral fittings are waterproof, allowing the Sky Rover to engage in water landings. The vehicle is not configured for water operations in rough seas, but can operate from calm lakes and pools.
Electronics and other systems which are vacuum sensitive are sealed to allow high altitude and orbital operation. Passengers will have to wear vacc suits or cybersuits, but the vehicle includes an air system mounting bracket in the boot to which standard breathings systems can be connected. This allows operation in hostile environments even with its force field down.
The rear passenger seats may be folded up to provide a flat cargo bed. A tractor cargo tie down system prevents cargo shifting.
The Sky Rover comes with a minitool kit, standard. It is stored in its own compartment beneath the drivers seat.
