Back to the Ground and Air Vehicles contents

The Skyreach class open topped aircar was amongst the first civilian vehicles to take advantage of contra grav technology. Although no longer in production on Earth many examples can still be found throughout core human space and essentially identical craft are still being manufactured in the Grand Duchy of Grenadine.
