How are we ever going to know how many
Thrust Pixies we need to get the thing off the ground if we don't know
the
weight? Or should that be "Lift Demons"?


Is there such a thing as a Thrust Demon for them?

No. Lift Demons eat Thrust Pixies and their genietic material is
incompatible so there are no hybrid Thrust Demons.

Sultan Investing Heavily in Arabian Carpet Bombers
The Sultan's Chief of Airborne Warfare is investigating the concept of
"carpet bombing". This required adapting the standard Abdullah SR-6 Light
Reconnaissance Flying Carpet to carry and deploy two "Insh-Allah" 20 pound
anti-infidel bombs. In desert trials, several palm trees were successfully
destroyed by the one-man Abdullah SR-6; however the small size has proven a
limiting factor on the number of missiles which can be carried and the
leading tassels need to be redesigned for greater carpet stability.

The Sultan has therefore commissioned a study into use of two man carpets
e.g. the Arabian Carpet 130 (AC-130) carrying stand-off missiles with infra
red guidance systems. This carpet will have trailing tassels only, a gently
furled front edge with innovative carpet-swept corners with twin Carpet
Beater propulsion system.

Meanwhile, the Grand Vizier, Ahmed bed Linen, has been working on blanket
bombing using the B-52 Security Blanket; undyed honeycomb weave, 100% pure
new wool, stealth shielded blanket. This has a fully "pull up over the face"
protection system.

Until now, Arabian flying carpets have been woven purely for civil and
commercial uses. These include the fast and flashy "Fatwa" beloved of boy
racers; the family-sized "Genie" with twin-tassel suspension system for a
smoother ride, tow-bar for throw rug trailer, under-carpet luggage stowage
compartment and under-front-furl drinks holders; the sixteen-seater
"Axe-Mincer" used mainly as an inter-oasis Company Carpet; the Cargo Carpet
and the "Jumbo Jihad" passenger carpet (variants of which are used as cargo
planes).
