well... thats a hard one :P the wraith darts are much more maneuverable then the jumpers.... but the darts dont have stealth technology, that we know of so.... i think it would be a standoff....
but with the right pilot, like Sheppard, i think that the jumper would win BECAUSE of the shield it has
*phew* there you go.

Wraith darts and Puddle Jumpers reflect the races who created them-
The Wraith have numbers on their side and are not afraid to blow themselves up, hence they drop armour and weapons in favour of speed.
The Ancients have (had) superior technology but lacked numbers, hence using Shields and the Drone Weapons to make up for what they lack. I would imagine that this would reduce their overall speed somewhat. But once again the Jumpers were designed with the Stargate in mind so speed was simply not required.

ah, but in space, where there is no air resistance, you don't need aerodynamics! so with equal thrust, the two ships would fly the same speed...
now in atmosphere, you are absolutely correct, but you're right, Wraith are "suicide bombers" i guess

I vote Puddle Jumper 'cos they look cute... :huh: I think I've gone mad! Cute is not how I would normally describe a ship...but it does look cute...Like a little animal(if you screw your eyes up and tilt your head a bit)
