So, Traveller seems to mostly be a fairly grounded sci-fi setting. This doesn't mean that absolutely everything perfectly follows real-life physics and social dynamics - things are bent a bit to allow more room for adventures and player activity (i.e. realistically, piloting ships and firing ship guns should be thoroughly automated by default at this tech level) - but it does mean things are a bit more grounded in the mundane "realistic" details of the world. You track fuel, you track your budget (including your mortgate!), you can fail to get into university and rack up medical debt during character creation, and fights are generally not "fair" but swing wildly based on equipment and preparation.

So, within that world, we have the Air/Raft, which is a small open topped car capable of floating all the war up to orbit and docking with a ship, provided the passengers are wearing spacesuits. I just have a hard time reconciling this with the grounded setting of Traveller. As you're floating 10s of km off the ground, you're going to get hit with winds of hundreds of kilometres per hour. So you've got people freely sitting in what is basically an open air platform just gradually floating upwards in these extreme conditions. It seems like this is something that travellers might do in an emergency when they need to evacuate a planet and have no other options, but it doesn't feel right to me that this an Air/Raft is the default "dropship" that's included with many spaceships. I just get the picture of the Fantasticar or something like that, which is just a very different kind of setting.

A simple "fix" for my own table is to just say that Air/Rafts are covered and have limited life support capacity, so the travellers aren't just sitting in their seatbelts being blustered around during ascent/descent. But I'm a little surprised that Air/Rafts have remained unmodified for so long, given how they do feel like more of the sort of thing you'd see in pulp space opera than in the more grounded universe of Traveller.
