Airborne Bus Thing
Highly advanced airborne people-carrier, the ABT for short. Can take up to 32 passengers. It has, on the record, carried Chef Froffington's staff.
ABTs have two main passenger levels.
Lower Passenger Level: Seating and sleeping cabins. Seating is towards the front, and cabins towards the rear. An advanced form of sliding walls allow staff to change the cabin configuration to suit passenger needs. So for example, if all 32 passengers want private cabins, they can get them. If families would like to share cabins, this can be facilitated by reconfiguring the wall layout. Passengers are not allowed to do this themselves. It has to be done by flight staff.
Upper Passenger Level: Sofas for relaxing on, a library, an entertainment zone, hot-tubs, saunas, and an array of table games (like ping-pong, foosball and snooker). And most importantly, an extremely well-stocked canteen.
At the very top, towards the front where the eye is located, is the flight deck.
- Speeds of up to 300 mph
- Flight distance on primary fuel tank: 600 miles
- Flight distance on secondary fuel tank: 150 miles
