Small spacecraft created by the Ancients. Several of these ships were discovered in various hangars in Atlantis, and are used by the Atlantis Expedition for various purposes. Puddle Jumpers feature retractable thrusters that allow them to travel through a Stargate, as well as powerful drone weapons for self-defense and a cloaking device to avoid detection. They are operated via neural interface, and so the ATA gene is required to activate and pilot the ship.

Lt. Col. John Sheppard got into Jumper 1, their puddle jumper, with Teyla Emmagan, Ronon Dex, and Dr. Rodney McKay.

A small airplane or land vehicle (car, truck) that appears to be wholly inadequate for the task of transporting passengers, or even the driver for that matter.

Puddle Jumper

Nickname for any small car, but most usually applied to the AUSTIN SEVEN (built at Longbridge, Birmingham, England from 1922-1939). The butt of innumerable jokes and several popular songs of the 20s and 30s but brought affordable motoring to Britain and her Colonies until well into the 1960s. Many survive in use today (2010). At speed the little Austin can be skittish and literally jumps puddles.

"Ay up lad, tyre's lookin' bit bald on t' puddle jumper."
