If you fitted CAM.A.PROPULSION to this craft you could have.A simpler drive with less mechanical power losses,lighter and stronger running gear which would be better supported,be more reliable for sustained high speeds and give better lateral control and better finer steering,and better speed control at all RPM ranges.Docking would be simpler and better.The propulsion would be much cheaper to build and maintain ect.,

CAM.A.PROPULSION is a different approach to propulsion with many variations and is not just one design.My photo album has some images of some of the approaches that can be taken.If you read some of my posts they may be something of interest for you.
