[edit] Dimensions of a Jumper?
I know that they are 8m long, but what about from the flat bottom to the top, and from the widest point on both sides?
Where did the figure of 8m come from? As far as I know, the show's execs don't usually give out dimensions of ships.

[edit] Gene to fly?
If I remember correctly, the gene is required to fly the Puddle Jumper at all. It's not a matter of requiring initialization. This is why Doctor Becket learned to fly it despite his lack of flight skills, since in an emergency, his having the gene may be more important than having a good pilot. (And the Ancient Technology Activation gene article lists the Jumper as one of the tech items that requires the gene for use.) Benabik 05:52, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Definat One/wraith cloak-to-shield reference
"However, on one occasion (The Defiant One), a wraith tampered with a jumper's controls thereby somehow generating a shield around it, causing Major John Sheppard to run into the vessel."
Is there any evidence in that episode that the shield was created by the jumper and not a device the Wraith brought with him? {unisnged}
- We've never seen the wraith with shields before.MioTheGreat 13:06, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Right, it does seem backwards.... 12:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Hyper drive and shields
if the ancients are so advanced how come then that the puddle jumpers can not go into hyper space or have any shields if they were designed for exploration you would think that they should have hyper drives so that they could reach othr planets quickly that dont have stargates.
- they were designed to go through stargates, primarily for trading perhaps? then again one wonders why a race as advanced as the Lanteans needs to trade...
They're not meant for trade either, they're basically armed shuttles, they're for ferrying the Ancient around their planet(s), basically their version of cars.

- ...in other words: Nobody knows, all we know is that they hold several people, they fit through a Stargate and have several drones and that they are not FTL capable. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 20:50, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Energy Weapon
The article says there is an energy weapon fired from the front of the craft. Upon closer inspection of the episode in question 08x13 It's Good to be King, the weapons seem to originate in the engine pods near where the drones are fired.
[edit] Gateship
In Part 2 of the Return, one of the Asurans refered to the Puddle Jumper the team used as a "gateship". Is it possible that this was what the Ancients called the ship? -- SFH 17:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Definitely possible.. probably best that we don't consider renaming at the moment though.. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 17:44, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- No, of course not, but mentioning it in the article might be relevant. -- SFH 17:47, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Sounds good. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 17:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] DHD
Have somebody notices that the DHD in the 2º and 3º type of console are (like the rest of the cockpit, not only the console) are different from the 1º, it can be seen that the enter button isnt pressed, but there is a light blue on (it can be turn on in echoes when they are underwater)also when Sheppard dial the milky way gate on the return he push 8 keys, the last one (which supposed to be the enter) was one on the right side. So what? the enter button is among the others and the new DHDs only have 35 symbols or what?.190.48.69.6 18:08, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
