The Dean Files Folding Wing Light Aircraft (Civilian Aircraft)

This craft is designed to fit in the four displacement ton vehicle bay of a Type S scout ship with its wings folded. It provides an economical alternative to the standard air/raft, and also can often be used on lower tech level planets where availability of local maintenance can be an advantage.
