Tarchia Cannon: speed=4 (hover), speed ≈ 2.Hovracoon: speed = 10 (hover), speed ≈ 6 (vehicle).Jackal Racer: speed=12 (hover), speed ≈ 7.5 (vehicle).Mandjet: speed=8 (hover), speed ≈ 5 (vehicle).Magnetron: speed=5 (hover), speed ≈ 3 (vehicle).Repair Drone: speed=9 (hover), speed ≈ 5.5 (vehicle).Zubr: speed=7 (hover), speed ≈ 4 (vehicle).Voyager: speed=7 (hover), speed ≈ 4 (vehicle).Robot Tank: speed=10 (hover), speed ≈ 6 (vehicle). ![]() Kappa Tank: speed=10 (hover), speed ≈ 6 (vehicle).For example, the defined speed value of the Kappa Tank is 10, however in-game, its actual movement speed is about 6.Īctual Speed values vs approximate vehicle speeds: Home Rules Site MUL Help Login Register BattleTech - The Board Game of Armored Combat » BattleTech Player Boards » Fan Designs and Rules » Non-Combat Vehicles » Ivroy Handle Vier Rapid Command Hover « previous next » Print Pages: 1 Go Down. Hover vehicles have reduced movement speeds compared to wheeled and tracked vehicles. All hovercraft transports are immune to EMP, however. When hover vehicles are disabled, they will land on ground or sink into the water. This trait is defined by a specific Locomotor value used by hover VehicleTypes. The capability of hovering above the ground eliminates the need for tires and allows them to travel across water. In August 1961, Popular Science reported on the Aeromobile 35B, an air-cushion vehicle (ACV) that was invented by William Bertelsen and was envisioned to revolutionise the transportation system, with personal hovering self-driving cars that could speed up to 1,500 mph (2,400 km/h).Hover vehicles are vehicles that float slightly above the ground. While technically a success, the whole project was dropped due to financial constraints. The Levicar was very light and when raised off its guide rail by the magnetic it only required a blower in the back to propel it. The car was designed to be levitated by magnets, and was intended to be developed for high-speed transportation systems. It was a one-person, small in a modern sense, car propelled by maglev. In 1959, Ford displayed the concept car Leva car. Kucher, Ford’s vice president in charge of Engineering and Research noting "We look upon Glide-air as a new form of high-speed land transportation, probably in the field of rail surface travel, for fast trips of distances of up to about 1,000 miles (1,600 km)". ![]() An article in Modern Mechanix quoted Andrew A. In April 1958, Ford engineers demonstrated the Glide-air, a three-foot (one-metre) model of a wheelless vehicle that speeds on a thin film of air only 3⁄ 1000 of an inch (76.2 µm) above its table top roadbed.
