Description
The JASON or Jet Aircraft (for) Sub Orbital Navigation is the cruise-liner of the skies of The Empyraeum and beyond.

Jason flights connect The Empyraeum to all the Nations on Gaia and their people. This particular vehicle operates for Green Goblin Airlines of Potawatomi Ventures, based in the Federated People's Nations, far across the cold, deep Atlantic Ocean; it flies between Potawatomi City and Alexandria twice a week.

The principle behind the JASON is simple, and implied in the name; it is a jet engine powered aircraft the navigates by travelling to the limit of Gaia's atmosphere before dropping back down at incredible speed, reaching its destination in a quarter of the time any other aircraft might manage. What takes a hover barge a week, a Jason can do in under two hours.

Massive Helios MX-1 engines take the Jason up to the high mesosphere at four times the speed of sound, powerful inertial dampeners and low-power Reflex Fields ensuring the two hundred and eighty passengers feel almost none of it. After reaching parabolic trajectory, the Jason switches off the "big boys" and uses a series of Aeolus variable geometry turbojet engines to steady its descent and slow down quickly.

The same Aeolus engines are used to "land the Jason with no more wind than a fly's fart" on the J-Port landing pad, safe for the passengers to disembark at their destination.

In the last decade, J-Ports have sprung up across the globe everywhere except Intzeca territory. Tourism has become the main source of income for many cities.
