Bumblebee Light Air Raft (Civilian Aircraft)

The Bumblebee is a light air raft intended for use on planets where hydrocarbon fuels are inexpensive and readily obtainable. In such situations the turbine engine is more cost effective than either fusion power or fuel cells. There are no significant differences between the TL11 version shown here and the TL10 version.
