[QUOTE]Originally posted by B.J.: [QB] This has been bugging me recently. Almost all the websites out there list the length of the workbee as 4.11 meters, which is from the DS9 Tech Manual. This is the size I drew it up as in Corel Draw, but it looked big to me, especially considering the cutaway view from the DS9TM that shows a single seat. Recently, I came across the TMP blueprints from 1979 that has the workbee shown at 2.7 meters. These also have the added feature of the silhouette of a person in the cockpit. This shorter length seemed much more reasonable to me, so I decided to test it: [IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/858/workbee_size.jpg[/IMG] The person is 1.8m tall, the Type 15 is 3.6m in length, and the Type 6 is 6m long. As you can see, the person I drew in matches the 2.7m length version nearly perfectly, and the scale compared to the shuttles looks much better as well. So, where did the DS9TM come up with the 4.11m figure, and why? B.J. [/QB][/QUOTE]
