A hypersonic jet, an Apache, a quadcopter and a Reaper, a hoverboard that climbs cliff faces, a jetpack, a hang glider, a snowmobile, a quad bike, a balloon, a mech walker, a rocket bike, a sailboat, a submarine and a maglev sled: every one boarded from the Vehicles menu in any world, driven or flown for four seconds by the smoke, and photographed.
▶ Go therefleet-glider The hang glider launched over the Ruler Alps: no engine, a dive for speed, a flare to stretch the glide.▶ Go therefleet-snowmobile The snowmobile in the Frost Range: quick on snow, spray behind the track.▶ Go therefleet-mech The mech walker in the Sprawl: six blocks tall, a shoulder cannon, every stride shakes the ground.▶ Go therefleet-rocketbike The rocket bike through the Vast Cities: blue flames, a burn three times as long as a nitro.▶ Go therefleet-maglev The maglev sled in the Ruler Cities: ninety a second on the paved streets, a crawl off the line.▶ Go therefleet-hyperjet The hypersonic jet over the Long Range at golden hour: three times a plane’s speed, a contrail behind the engines.▶ Go therefleet-jetpack The jetpack among the Skyline Empire’s towers: the bar is fuel, it refills on landing.▶ Go therefleet-drone The quadcopter drone in the Skyline, seen through its own camera, forty metres up at most.▶ Go therefleet-balloon The hot-air balloon over the Valley of Towers: the burner lifts it, the wind carries it.▶ Go therefleet-sailboat The sailboat off the Archipelago’s first harbour in a fresh wind: fast before it, slow into it.▶ Go therefleet-quad The quad bike on the Ruler Dunes: four fat wheels, a rack gun, it climbs what stops a buggy.▶ Go therefleet-hoverboard The hoverboard on the Walsh Mesas: it rides land and water, and lifts straight up a mesa wall.▶ Go therefleet-submarine The submarine in the Archipelago at periscope depth: C dives, Space surfaces, quicker under the chop.▶ Go therefleet-apache An Apache over the Marsh: rocket pods on the stub wings, a chain gun under the nose, four blades in a blur.▶ Go therefleet-reaper A Reaper drone launched seventy metres over the Cinder Range: a long wing, a V tail, two missiles.
