Galen: You mean the Academy trainer? I'm interested to see it. You have a size estimation too?

I don't have the Bajoran ship, but I'm sure it will be in the Fact Files.

I do not have any more info on the Academy trainer than anyone else. I simply extrapolated from the known photo to make a top and side view. I admit I am no starship artist and I make better top views than sides. Perhaps someone with more talent can improve on the pictures that I made, especially the side view.

The schematic is really fine, and it seems to suit the reference photo. Provided I can conceive a reasonable length, may I use it for the next edition of the shuttle chart?

Go ahead and use it. After all I have enough of your pictures on my hard drive.

I think the Academy trainer craft has to be very small, because there is not much inside. Speaking from how crammed the impulse reactor and other components (sensor, computer) are in a type-15 shuttle, there is no reason to waste much room in the trainer craft, as opposed to the ancient technology in the Bajoran sub-impulse raider. It might have a more powerful impulse engine though, since it is supoosed to do complicated maneuvers with higher acceleration than a shuttle. It is also well-suited for atmospheric flight, as indicated by its shape. I will try to find a similar fighter aircraft and compare it to the trainer craft.
