The Ultima was built at the direction of a large corporation seeking publicity for their products. Absolutely no expense was spared in its construction. Since the entire design was aimed at providing the highest possible acceleration, there are two major limitations on the operation of the vehicle: Speed is limited to 4200kph in atmosphere. Beyond this speed excessive heating of the hull with resultant structural failure may occur. Sensors provide inadequate warning time at top speed, and top speed should therefore only be used over a precalculated and cleared course where no obstacles can be encountered.
