A small fast moving forward radar surveilance plane.  There is only a crew of two to this plane, the pilot and the radar controller.  The radar controller is for all intents and purposes a dedicated netrunner whose job is to monitor the information gather by the radar and relay it back to headquarters where a special team deciphers the information the same way the crew of the Watchdog would.  The onboard contoller only actively monitors immediate threats and targets.

A luxury cruise liner dirigible, smaller than the Skyliner, but every bit as exquisite.  Travel in class and take a party of all your friends with you.  The Elegance is fully capable of amphibious landings, in fact the Elegance was purposely designed as a yacht, and is capable of cruising in the water.  The balloon can even be released and piloted seperately and the vessel would continue on its way as an oceanic vessel.  Since the vehicle was designed to serve long luxurious cruises it was deemed a definate bonus in case of emergency over water.  It is even defensively armed to repel boarders and pirates.

SPECIAL EQUIPMENT: everything you can imagine a luxury yacht/airship could have

Armament: 4 defensive 50.cal cannons on top rear of balloon

The chinese put their best (and possibly most deranged) scientists to work to create their own cargo plane, capable of moving extreme amounts of cargo or troops with as much economy as possible.  The vehicle they designed is a monument of bizarre engineering.  Due to the flat surface of the vehicle, it actually acts as a giant lifting wing.  And while cargo and/or troops must be evenly balanced throughout the plane, it is able to set new records in the amount of both it can carry.  Also, to maximize versatility the top portion of the vehicle is a giant radom, allowing the vehicle to act as forward electronic surveillance as well.  The chinese can be scary sometimes.  This plane needs a long runway.

The new breed of airships has arrived, and these giant ballons floating lazily in the sky can carry more cargo that was ever believed possible, using a semi rigid hull, but reinforced keel, these airships store their cargo on the inside, allowing for better aerodynamics.  Yes, they are slow as mud, but nothing else comes close to the hauling ability.  Corporations are flocking to the potential of these, especially those who need to move cargo to hard to land locations.

When the original Concorde was retired, it was a blow to Airbus, who had used the plane as its flagship for years.  But with the emergence of new techniology by 2010 they were had compelteled plans for the newer version.  Almost twice as long, and twice as fast, the Concorde II  turned as many heads for its it's elegent simplicity as it did for its performance.  Safety being a key issue, great advances were made, and Airbus claims that thier plane is the safest in th sky.  New technology has also drastically reduced fuel consumption, making the newest SST far more eco friendly.

Where the chinese find someone brave enough to pilot one of these death traps I will never know, but I can attest to its effectiveness.  This small one man dirigible  has a rigid hull and is coated with a stealth skin, that and its size make it all but invisible to radar.  It is also incredibly quiet, using an electric fan for propulsion.  It can also be switched over to peddle propulsion (yes you read that right, the unlucky bastard has to peddle like a madman), in case of loss of power.  The peddling also recharges the batteries.  You will not hear this thing from less than 20 yards away without cybernetic amplification.  The prupose of this dirigible is simple, it moves under cover of darkness to an enemy position and drops its payload of 6 200lb bombs.  Of course doing so usually reveals the vehicle which is usually too slow to escape, hence the name.  Still due to the extreme low cost, china sells these to third world militaries and rebel groups all over the world.  They also happen to fall into the hands of terrorists, but china denies any involvement.
