IAE 2956 Rental Ships and Ground Vehicles: The Forecast by Manufacturer
Planning to try the Ironclad or the Railen at IAE? Find Drake and Gatac’s rental dates alongside the ships and ground vehicles we expect at each manufacturer’s kiosks.
Free rentals open in New Babbage on 13 November. Roberts Space Industries goes first, with Origin joining on 14 November and Anvil on the 15th.
CIG has confirmed the manufacturer dates and announced more than 200 ships and ground vehicles. The 203 models listed below are The Impound’s forecast, based on previous expos and ships that have since become flyable.
How to rent a ship at IAE 2956
Head to the Traveler Rentals terminals in the main IAE hall during the manufacturer’s rental window, choose your ship and follow the on-screen prompts. The terminals include flyable vehicles that are not physically displayed on the show floor. Retrieve your rental at an ASOP terminal.
Rentals last 48 hours from the time you rent them, and each ship or vehicle can be rented once. Plan your test flights within that period rather than expecting to renew the same vehicle. Every account also has access to an Aurora Mk II during the event.
IAE opens on 13 November at 16:00 UTC and runs through 27 November. See our IAE rental and rewards FAQ for the rental rules and Best in Show ownership requirements.
