Auto Credit Based on BeastHunter's Mortal engines challenge (CLOSED)
This is my interpritation of a sandship, a wind-powered desert vehicle described in A Darkling Plain, the 4th book in the Mortal Engines series (Although it is slightly smaller then the ones in the book). VTOL for throttle and Trim for turrent rotation. AG1 is a Gyroscope in case you roll over, and for that reason I recommend you use half throttle (you WILL roll over). The steering is very sensitive, but this vehicle is a lot of fun. And if your engine fails, you really can use the wind to move it. Kind of.
