This is a SketchUp model of the MF-813 Flying MULE, an anti-gravity, land speeder-like vehicle seen in the 2005 "Serenity" movie, a continuation of the short-lived 2002 TV series "Firefly." The vehicle hung from the rafters of Serenity's cargo bay and was used by Mal, Zoe and Jayne to conduct a heist of an Alliance payroll on the planet Lilac. They dragged young River along hoping her sixth sense could sniff out trouble before it happened and they had a close call with gang of Reavers conducting a raid. MULE stands for "Multi-Use Land Equipment," and the MF-813 was designed for picking up and carrying things like a floating forklift with its front grappler and tow bar. With a top speed of about 120kph, the designers probably didn't consider it to be used as a getaway vehicle after a bank heist - or outrun Reaver skiffs - luckily they weren't much faster. #antigravity #antigrav #Firefly #floating #FOX #future #grav #hover #land_speeder #mule #scifi #Serenity #series #speeder #TV #utility #vehicle
