"The muffler bracket for a '79 Pinto"

"No, that's the XR-2200. The 2300's the Lunar Shuttle."

The name, Mayflower-1, and registry is based on the lunar passenger shuttle from Airplane 2: The Sequel (1982).

I had thought about this shuttle after a thought from this image:

And had wondered about using a fully charged phaser bank for a ship's thrust? Where particles travelling near the speed of light are stored in the cyclotron and are then released out the engines for thrust.

If the cyclotron is charged with say 80 kT of energy, how far and how long it it gets from the Earth to the moon?

Let's do the math, the dreaded 4-letter word that even my 13 year old daughter hates.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

40 kT (40kT to accelerate, 40kT to decelerate) = 1.674e+14J

GWT = ~500T

Acceleration = 3G's

Force = 14715000 N

Distance = 11376146.79m or 11,376.15km

Time = 879.26029169436 or 14.66 minutes

Speed = 25,876.63 m/s

Total time = 4 hours 22 minutes

-----------------------------------------------------------------

But for the sake of argument, they use fusion engines and can reach the moon in about 2 hours at continuous 3 G's, and takes place around the turn of the 22nd century. 3 G's so their inertia dampeners and gravity control systems can handle it.

The ship is under 50m long, and capable of carrying about 50 passengers. I did have a transporter unit on the top of the shuttle, but that can easily be modified into the main fusion reactor, with the 2 fusion reactors on the back are the ship's fuel supply.

The engines are divided into the outer atmospheric engines and the main impulse engines. The impulse engines are either the 80kT cyclotron battery engines, or the fusion engines. The atmospheric engines uses the Earth's atmosphere as fuel that's powered by the main reactor/battery. Though the wings are used for lifting, they each have an ion beam emitter -- like on ramscoops -- which ionizes the atmosphere and are taken into the intakes magnetically for fuel and thrust.

The ship has 3 lift off thrusters that has intake grilles on the top of the ship which are then used for fuel that's thrusted downwards for initial lift so the ship doesn't need wheels and a runway -- since the moon wouldn't have a runway since it doesn't have an atmosphere. It uses an onboard fuel supply for the lift off thrusters so it can leave the moon and head straight back to Earth.

They're also used to slow the ship down so it doesn't need to reenter the atmosphere with the high temperature reentry and S-turns. They slow down, drop, hover and come in for a controlled landing.

I included the deflector dish on the idea that if the deflector can displace the atmosphere, then the ship wouldn't superheat during lift off as it builds up speed like the space shuttle did, and required the ship to open its cargo doors to help cool down the shuttle. If not only displace the atmosphere, but allowing the air to be pulled into the intakes for fuel.

Then I was watching Airplane 2: The Sequel (1982), and got inspired.

I wonder if airport security is that selective?
