Arsenal has a vehicle mod with a gliding fox parachute for descent. Of course, if a single jump is all you need, go for the rocket boosters.
The latter would be a basic vector thrust vehicle... which doesn't seem to exist - there are only heavily armored tanks. |

If you want a flying vehicle, the Northup Wasp and the Northup Yellowjacket(ARSE pg 114-115) are some copters that could be quite awesome with some rigger modification. |

Those are about as awesome as a Jackrabbit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) |

For a second I thought this was about the Moller Skycar. A nifty piece of "Almost there" ware used to get investment capital.

Is there a reason you can't use the VTOL Lvl 2 mod on a small plane to get a 'skycar'?

While classed as a shuttle helicopter, the Hughes Aerospace Emblem is described as using ducted propellers - and thus, comes closest to a sky car.
Of course, it is neither cheap nor small - though cheaper than any small plan (even before VTOL modification). |
