The second fastest vehicle in the SR4 core book (the Cessna 750) is rated at 340 m/(3s) which is 408 kph or 253.53 mph.
But the GMC Banshee moves almost three times this fast at 1 km every three seconds which is 1200 kph or 745.68 mph. This is insane as far as speed goes, even for a semi-advanced technology base. Why would a sports VTOL be able to move nearly the speed of sound (768 mph) when the aircraft in the core book doesn't even get close to that? |
