Design Notes:
The AR11-4 air raft was designed to offer high performance and capacity while minimizing the cost of the craft (223 KCr when purchased in volume). It is designed to carry an optional pilot (the craft can be operated under remote control) and up to 3 passengers, in addition to 0.2 kl of cargo. The pilot is provided with an open crewstation. The passenger's seats are adequate. The hatch seals allowing use on vacuum worlds; however, care must be taken to open the hatch in a pressurized environment such as a hanger or residential garage.
Contra-grav lifters are used on the AR11-4 for propulsion rather than thrusters to reduce cost. The performance is considered good for customers simply looking for surface transportation. With 2 G acceleration (over 420 kph) when fully loaded the AR11-4 launch can operate effectively on high G worlds. When not carrying cargo, the AR11-4 can accelerate almost 3 G's, reaching speeds of over 520 kph. A fuel cell provides the AR11-4 with power for 12 hours.
The AR11-4 is a very common air raft, especially popular among independent operators of small starships due to its competitive pricing. Tens of thousands of examples of this air raft have been produced over the years. These air rafts are constructed at the Svenson's Small Craft LIC shipyards located on most hi-population, average stellar technology worlds.
