Fate of Io
Pylos Flyer
Last updated at 2005/05/06 23:05:34 PDT by Dev

Prior to the inception of Eumotech devices, flying vehicles were limited to large, awkward balloons that were slow and ill-equipped for anything but surveying. By combining powerful wind techniques with expertly crafted sails that function as static wings, Pylos has created a new mothed of aerial transportation. The flyer is supported by three main structures that fan out and allow the craft to maneuver very similarly to a helicopter. It should be noted that the Eumotech drives alone are not enough to lift the craft into the sky; the position and integrity of the wing mechanisms are necessary components for flight. And the design, while elegant, is not redundant. If any one of the wings are sufficiently damaged, the flyer becomes imbalanced and may careen out of control.
