Methane Sifter Ramjet


The Methane Sifter Ramjet, a type of hovercraft, was specifically engineered for use on planets possessing thick atmospheres abundant in gases like ammonia and methane, where conventional repulsorlift vehicles could not function effectively.

Characteristics

This vehicle utilized a pair of ramjet intakes to pull the thick atmospheric gases into its pressurized combustion area. Inside, these gases were ignited, generating the power needed to drive the sizable hover vanes. This configuration resulted in a propulsion system that was both highly effective and remarkably quiet.

History

Explorers and scouts who ventured to challenging and unwelcoming planets often preferred the Methane Sifter.
