Minbari Flyers is a very common Minbari transports, capable of both space and atmospheric flight.* Most flyers can carry only one crewman, though larger classes of this vessel can carry several Minbari citizens.*

Military issued Flyers are used by the Minbari Military as short-range communications vessels*, equipped with tachyon booster equipment that allow Minbari vessels to communicate both directly and instantaneously with their leadership on Minbar, while thousands of light-years from Minbari space and are often used as scout ships.*

Military Flyers have two beam weapons*, no independent Jump capabilities** and have a speed of six BoPrills.** Though Flyers do employ a type of gravimetric propulsion system, they lack the power to provide artificial gravity for the crew. This is due to the high power consumption of the gravimetric drive.
