Specifications - Delta Flyer-Type Runabout

« Back to Specs

Summary

The Flyer-class is a type of Federation Starfleet runabout in operation from the 2370s. The class was based on the design of the Delta Flyer and Delta Flyer II, designed and constructed by the crew of the USS Voyager while that starship was stranded in the Delta Quadrant.

The original Delta Flyer was designed to survive the rigors of the Delta Quadrant and included Borg technology based on the knowledge of Seven of Nine, a liberated drone.

The design was kept intact when Starfleet adopted the Flyer-class fleetwide.

The cockpit of Delta Flyer-type vessels features workstations for tactical, operations, and engineering personnel. The helm is located in the front of the cockpit. While the tactical, ops, and engineering stations feature a standard Federation LCARS interface, the helm combines this with physical buttons, knobs, and levers to give the pilot more direct control over the vessel. The LCARS display on the helm is replaced with two manual steering columns. The Flyer's large size permits comforts not standard to Federation shuttlecraft. The vessel features a large aft compartment that contains a retractable biobed for medical situations. Despite this inclusion, the Delta Flyer's medical accommodations are limited and primarily intended to stabilize a patient until he or she could get back to the main ship for treatment.

Work stations are featured on either side of the bed, and replicators were located at various points inside the craft. Delta Flyer-type vessels are capable of accommodating up to seven people comfortably.
