Description

Design for a drawing for the German Perry Rhodan-Novelle #3175

Storm trawlers are high-pressure atmosphere aircraft with robust technology, adapted to the atmospheric conditions of the cobalt blue gaseous planet Tarhuwant, which is subject to storms of up to 7000 kilometers per hour. There they are used to harvest the hyperactive tar shards floating in the upper atmosphere. Storm trawlers come in a variety of sizes and shapes. The one shown here has a length of 26.4 meters with a wingspan of 23 meters and a height including tail unit of 12.5 meters. As a form of propulsion, the storm trawler has a sail-like system covering a total of 554 square meters that allows it to drift with the storm. Still, one stays mostly on the night side to avoid the worst of the storms and gas eruptions.

As a form of propulsion, the storm trawler possesses a sail-like system that allows it to drift with the storm. Still, one stays mostly on the night side to avoid the worst of the storms and gas eruptions. A combination of anti-gravity projectors with the rotors installed in the aircraft ensures high maneuverability at lower wind speeds. Jet thrusters can be used to assist at higher wind speeds. Rotors and antigrav projectors are also mostly used on the home planet for takeoff, landing and hovering maneuvers, since they consume less energy than the regular antigrav drive. A Doppler radar and various other normal and hyper-energetic locator and probe systems are used for navigation. Communication is only possible via hyper radio, since the gas storms do not allow normal radio or only to a limited extent.

The heavily armored hull is additionally stabilized with pressure absorbers and contains a separate protective cell in which the cockpit is located. Tanks behind the cockpit cell hold the tar fragments, which are sucked in by gravity fields through filter inlets distributed around the trawler. In order to survive in the high-pressure atmosphere, gravity control, pressure absorbers and HÜ screens all have high performance data and are designed with multiple redundancies to ensure survival.
