<br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">The Copterpack is another option in the
field of 1-man mini-vehicles available for use on planets all across
the UPF. Small, agile, it is fairly energy efficient, and perfect
for scouting and patrol operations.
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Copterpacks consist of little more than
a power source, engine, rotor, and canopy mounted on a
semi-articulated, rigid frame that supports the pack when not in use
on a pair of skids. The whole system collapses down into an area of
less than 2 by 2 by 2 meters for storage.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Exploration teams use Copterpacks as
often as they use jetpacks or paragliders because they offer greater
stability than a jetpack, decent range, and are fairly easy to
operate, even by untrained pilots.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">The pack is flown primarily by the
pilot shifting his weight within the frame. The gyroscope notes the
change in body position and the pack's systems adjust accordingly.
Two small joysticks built into the “arms” of the articulation
frame are available for ultra-fine control and as a backup.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br />Standard equipment for a copterpack
includes a radiotelephone capable of interfacing with any other
similar system, or with any chronocom or videocom in range. Optional
equipment includes still and video recorders, a chest frame mounted
laser rifle equivalent, and up to four mini-missiles with damage
equal to that of a hand grenade and a maximum range of approximately
700 meters.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in"> </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><img src="/files/u23567/Hornet_stowed_2.jpg" alt="Copterpack stowed position" height="446" width="339" /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><i>Copterpack in stowed position</i></p>
