There's a whole wiki page (not just an article) dedicated to the Akira-class ships. They have everything from systems to deck layout.

The Thunderchild Air Wing Consists of the following craft:

Three wings (18 total, 6 per wing) of Federation Attack Fighter.
Type: Warp Fighter
Power Plant: One 400 cochrane warp engine, two 800 millicochrane impulse engines, four RCS thrusters
Dimensions: Length, 8 m; beam, 4 m; height 2 m
Mass: 3.71 metric tones
Performance: Warp 5
Armaments: Phaser cannons, Micro-torpedo launchers, torpedo launcher, Pylons for fitting up to eight Photon torpedoes
Defenses: Deflector shields, Decoy Drones
Crew: 2 (can be flown by one)




One Wing (6 total) of Valkryie Class Fighters
Type: Sublight Attack fighter
Dimensions: Length, 20 m; Beam, 14 m; Draft, 5 m
Power Plant: Two 800 millicochrane impulse driver engines, four RCS thrusters, four sarium krellide storage cells
Performance: Maximum delta-v, 23,750 m/sec
Armaments: Twin Type X Phaser cannons (Forward), Type IX array (Forward)
Crew: 1

These are experimental fighters and the only wing that has been deployed aboard the USS Thunderchild to date. The Valkyrie-class was designed as a replacement for the Peregrine-class fighter designed in the 2360s. It was a superior fighter that made use of advances in technology from the 2370s. It was similarly armed but was faster and more maneuverable. The Valkyrie Mark 1 is a small, lightly shielded and highly agile fighter. The hull follows the general design of shuttle craft with two wings for atmospheric flight that narrow sharply. The current armament is a medium-range twin Type X pulse phasers (forward), a nose-mounted Type 9 phaser (forward) for close range sustained firing, and a special repulsor beam to shove target away. These are non-warp capable fighters.




4 Danube Class Runabouts
Type: General Purpose Interstellar Vessel
Accommodation: Officers and Crew: 12-15, Evacuation Limit: 40
Dimensions: Length, 23.1 m; Width, 13.7 m; Height: 5.4 m
Mass: 158.7 metric tons
Hull: Duranium-Tritanium composite
Number of Decks: 1 Total
Performance: Maximum speed, warp 8.3; Cruising speed: warp 4
Armament: Standard - 6 Type V phaser arrays
Transporters: One standard 2-personnel




6 Type 18 shuttlepod
Type: Medium short-range sublight shuttle
Accommodation: Two; pilot and system manager
Power Plant: Two 800 millicochrane impulse driver engines, four RCS thrusters, four sarium krellide storage cells
Dimensions: Length, 4.5 m; beam, 3.1 m; height 1.8 m
Mass: 1.12 metric tones
Performance: Maximum delta-v, 16,750 m/sec
Armament: Three Type-V phaser emitters

Developed in the mid-2360s, the Type-18 Shuttlepod is somewhat of a departure from the traditional layout for ships of its size. In response to the growing threat of conflicts with various galactic powers bordering or near to the Federation, this shuttlepod was designed to handle more vigorous assignments that still fell into the short-range roles of a shuttlepods. Even with her parent vessel under attack, the Type-18 was designed to function in battle situations and could even be used as an escape vehicle should the need arise. Lacking a warp core, the pod is a poor choice for travel beyond several million kilometers. Ships of this type are seeing limited deployment on various border patrol and defensive starship classes, including the Defiant-, Sabre-, and Steamrunner-class.




2 Type 9 Shuttle craft
Type: Medium long-range warp shuttle
Accommodation: Two flight crew, two passengers.
Power Plant: One 400 cochrane warp engine, two 800 millicochrane impulse engines, four RCS thrusters
Dimensions: Length, 8.5 m; beam, 4.61 m; height 2.67 m
Mass: 2.61 metric tones
Performance: Warp 6
Armament: Two Type-VI phaser emitters

The Type-9 Personnel Shuttle is a long-range craft capable of traveling at high warp for extended periods of time due to new advances in variable geometry warp physics. Making its debut just before the launch of the Intrepid-class, this shuttle type is ideal for scouting and recon missions, but is well suited to perform many multi-mission tasks. Equipped with powerful Type-VI phaser emitters, the shuttle is designed to hold its own ground for a longer period of time. Comfortable seating for four and moderate cargo space is still achieved without sacrificing speed and maneuverability. As is standard by the 2360’s, the shuttle is equipped with a medium-range transporter and is capable of traveling through a planet’s atmosphere. With its ability to travel at high-warp speeds, the Type-9 has been equipped with a more pronounced deflector dish that houses a compact long-range sensor that further helps it in its role as a scout. The Type-9 is now being deployed throughout the fleet and is especially aiding deep-space exploratory ships with its impressive abilities.




2 Type-10 shuttle craft
Type: Heavy long-range warp shuttle
Accommodation: Two flight crew, two passengers.
Power Plant: One 250 cochrane warp engine, two 800 millicochrane impulse engines, four RCS thrusters.
Dimensions: Length, 9.64 m; beam, 5.82 m; height 3.35 m.
Mass: 19.73 metric tones.
Performance: Warp 5.
Armament: Three Type-V phaser emitters, two micro-torpedo launchers, jamming devices.

Developed specifically for the Defiant-class starship project, the Type-10 Personnel Shuttle is the largest departure from the traditional role of an auxiliary craft that Starfleet has made in the past century. Short of a dedicated fighter craft, the Type-10 is one of the most powerful auxiliary ships, with only the bulkier Type-11 being more heavily equipped. Nonetheless, the shuttle sports increased hull armor and the addition of micro-torpedo launchers, as well as a suite of tactical jamming devices. A larger warp coil assembly, as well as torpedo stores, makes the Type-10 much more heavier then other shuttles. Elements from the Defiant-class project that were incorporated into the shuttle include armored bussard collectors, as well as a complex plasma venting system for use during possible warp core breech situations. This bulky craft is equipped with a powerful navigation deflector that allows it to travel at high-warp, and a complex sensor system makes this shuttle suitable for reconnaissance work. Able to hold its own in battle situations, the Type-10 is seeing limited deployment on Defiant-class starships, as well as border patrol vessels and combat-ready ships.




2 Type 11 Shuttle craft

Type: Heavy long-range warp shuttle
Accommodation: Four flight crew, six passengers
Power Plant: One 400 cochrane warp engine, two 800 millicochrane impulse engines, four RCS thrusters
Dimensions: Length, 16 m; beam, 9.78 m; height 4.25 m
Mass: 28.11 metric tones
Performance: Warp 6
Armament: Four Type-V phaser emitters, two micro-torpedo launchers (fore and aft), aft-mounted veritable purpose emitter.

With an ultimate goal towards creating a useful all-purpose shuttlecraft, the designers of the Type-11 Personnel Shuttle set out to create a craft that was equipped with all the systems of a starship within the shell of a relatively small shuttle. Allocation of the larger Danube-class runabout to starships in the field proved too costly, and with the expressed need by the Sovereign-class development team for a capable shuttle, the Type-11 was born. Its overall frame and components are a meshing of lessons learned in both the Type-9 and Danube-class vessels. Impressive shielding, several phaser emitters, micro-torpedo launchers and a capable warp propulsion system makes this shuttle capable of performing a multitude of tasks. Both the ventral and dorsal areas of the shuttle feature a new magnaclamp docking port that is capable of linking up to other ships similarly equipped. A two-person transporter and a large aft compartment with a replicator adds to the shuttle’s versatility. The end hope is that these all-purpose shuttles will replace the more specific-purpose crafts already stationed on starships, reducing the amount of space needed for shuttle storage in already-cramped bays. The Type-11 is now seeing selective deployment outside the Sovereign-class to further assess its capabilities in the field.
