The following information has been approved for distribution by Santa Claus and his Elven engineer staff. Although most of the blueprints and engineer's specs on this prototype have not been cleared through the International Patents Office, some basic information regarding Santa's Cyber-Sleigh has been released to the public.
The body of Santa's Cyber-Sleigh is made of an unreleased alloy, a combination
of adamantium, mithril, and vibranium(?). The ratios of this combination are
secret. This prototype is shielded from most conventional radar, coated with
a "Candy Apple Red" finish, completely non-reflective, and well adept for night-time manuevers.
Within the earth's atmosphere, the sleigh utilizes a form of forcefield propulsion, enabling the vehicle to move through the air with little or no friction against the body as well as protecting Santa against most weather conditions and high g-force manuevers.
The Photon Particle Generator was designed for flight outside of the Earth's
atmosphere, due to the excessive energy given off by photon beams. When
compared to the jet velocity of a basic chemical rocket (approximately
3000 meters per second), this engine allegedly reaches speeds an excess
of 100,000 times that rate.
On-board navigational systems (no photographs available) allow Santa to manuever effortlessly outside of normal air-traffic routes. While in flight, this prototype maintains direct contact with the North Pole and links to several weather and communications satellites (two with connectivity to the Internet). There was also mention of a 12-disc CD changer.
The MH-2600 Cyber-Sleigh is (and probably will remain) shrouded in mystery. Reports about its sightings have been the topic of discussion on various UFO newsgroups and mailing lists throughout the Internet. Fortunately, these test flights were few. The next one is scheduled for midnight, December 25th.
Send us some Feedback on the new Cyber-Sleigh! We'd love to hear what netizens around the world think of our prototype.
