Each hisser is as different from another as people are from each other, and that is because there is no mass production of them. At any given time, there might be up to five of these craft. Each of them is hand crafted by the owner and operator, and each is such a personal feat of engineering that when the builder dies, the hisser winds up succumbing to dry rot in the middle of the desert, and sinking into the spherules of glass that make up the Shifting Sands.
Hissers are powered by wind. Some have used conventional sails, as would a ship at sea, but most have used a large box kite that is launched at the beginning of the day. as the sun rises, and the drafts really ramp themselves up.
Cost: Variable; they are all "custom" made.
