I take it these are from the "Endgame" timeframe, yes? I think I like the third one the best.
The Eaves, the Sternbach, and the Drexler? Someone wants a job.

About the same size of my car, 04 Mitsubishi Lancer.

I think the TNG shuttlepod was about the size of an Isetta, though...

Well, shuttles are on the grow, look at the Enterprise-E's Shuttlecraft.

Yeah but they were all so Eaves-tastic. Gah!

Nice designs, but since when have impulse engines had intakes?

Hmm, the 'Drexler' after the NX-01 *cough*rip-off*cough* that guy dos not deserve anything be named after him. Very nice shuttles though, I think the second one looks a bit too much like the type 12 from Voyager but the other two are very original.
P.S. just noticed the rather pointless intakes, impulse engines don't take in anything from space last I checked, they only need an exhaust.

Yet the impulse engines of the Voyager seem to have intakes of some sort, and then there's the extensive orangish grillework at the front end of the "armpit" machinery of a Danube runabout...
Perhaps those are actually purge vents of some sort? They'd be useable whenever the ship isn't accelerating, unlike similar vents on aircraft which would be rather useless even when the craft is at constant speed or decelerating.

The whole Impulse Intake was done as a joke sort of thing based on markings from military aircraft.
I have no problem with Drexler. I've emailed the guy several times and he always replies quickly on what I'm asking about. I even asked him once why the NX-01 looks so much like the Akira-class. It wasn't his choice, the producers, Berman and Braga, knew how much fans loved the design and wanted the next Enterprise to be based off it. He had no choice but follow the instructions of his employers.
I named this three shuttles after artist who have done a lot for Star Trek art. Eaves for designing the E-E, Drexler for the NX-01, Sternbach for Voyager. I still want to design a Class 4 shuttle, which will probably be called the Probert or Jefferies.
And yes, my Class 2 is meant to look like Voyager's Class 2 Type 9. Originally designed by Sternbach called a Type 12, hense that shuttle's name and number.

They are the deflector 'dishes' of the Runabout.

Well, my version anyway! This was done in 1994 just before Voyager came out on TV.
