Intrepid Aeroshuttle cutaway
- Thread starter Bill Morris
- Start date
Is it that big?
Length: 27 m, beam: 31.6 m., height: 4.45 m, mass: 296 M.T. The hatch shown is on the port side. What you see on the underside of U.S.S. Voyager is slightly larger, but that's a door.
I replaced the image in the first post with a corrected version. It should be on track now to just add more detail.

Done.
Okay, this reference, which I didn't see before, has details about the Aeroshuttle, including pictures of its warp core. I hate to change what I've already got, but you can see here what they show, not much different from what we've seen before for the Danube class.
The link to this page warns that it only applies to the Aeroshuttle on Voyager and may have changed with later production. Okay, but I suspect Voyager left spacedock without one.

Great work on the Aeroshuttle. I have a discrepency on the impulse location. If you look at the warp nacelle you will notice that there is a red thruster there at the end and top of the nacelle, that is the impulse thruster and it is at the end and top of each nacelle. You might want to refer to the profile views, especially the aft view and side views. I hope that this helps. Once again great work.
Okay, I found a reference to confirm the location of the impulse engiines, and I changed the chairs and table to the match those seen in Voyager's mess hall. About the warp core, that modular type is necessary for most shuttles, and with the Danube class it allows room for a Jefferies tube below, but the Aeroshuttle isn't tall enough for that. Also, we saw a small warp core like the one I show being ejected from the Delta Flyer, and in the Aerowing this configuration allows maintenance access to that engineering space via the ladder you see in the figure. Just trying make make things sensibly fit within the exterior design we're given.
Shouldn't there by two versions? One showing the warp engines, the other whats obscured behind them on the diagram? As I recall there are aft windows on the Aeroshuttle... there should be more interior space than your showing.

Yeah, but you can see the limited space in the full schematic above. Here are the solutions for three other ships with the same problem. What I could do with this one is make some of the warp coils just outlines to provide a degree of transparency to show the sleeping quarters in the aft section. And I don't want to show the nacelle separately, as seen with the Voyager MSD, since that cuts into space for the callouts.

I thought there was reference already for taking the "split-view" object and simply moving it above or below the outline of the overall profile? while still showing the geometry outline of the opposite side obsured by the main hull so we know where its "supposed" to be.
sort-of like i'm doing here:
I could do that (leave the nacelle as just an outline like that in my first post of the thread and in the Raven image I linked in my previous post, then have the nacelle with its hardware below the main image), but the problem is label space within the 800 x 600 screen display of most old laptops (the main target for my LCARS system and what most users have it installed on). Even on a 1024 x 728 display, usable space is still 800 x 600, surrounded by a wrapper, as shown in the reduced screenshot below.
My LCARS system doesn't have driver support for new computers, and people wouldn't strip Windows off a new computer to run LCARS 24 as the primary system, anyway. What they install it on is machines that would otherwise be thrown away. And that's my reason for making these schematics. They're part of the package, and those labels and frames are rendered by the software in response to a script file written in an LCARS-dedicated markup language.
So, really, it's just a matter of conserving screen space.

Nice. What does your bridge/cockpit layout look like in your view? Just like the runabout, as Rick Sternbach suggested, so they could use the same set piece?
