The Dean Files Lightning Light Civilian Speeder (Civilian Aircraft)

The Lightning is intended to be fast, affordable transport at high tech level. With a maximum occupancy time of eight hours, the Lightning has a cruising radius of 18,000km-enough to reach any point on most planets. The fuel cell design limits the vehicle to air-breathing applications. The major drawback is the fairly simple non-computerized control system, which causes many planetary governments to restrict its operation to licensed pilots (GravVeh 2+).
