airspeeder
Hovering transport craft
An airspeeder is a flying vehicle in science fiction, typically a small personal craft that hovers or travels at low altitude through urban environments.
The term appears most prominently in the Star Wars universe, where airspeeders serve as the futuristic equivalent of cars: They commandeered an airspeeder and chased the assassin through Coruscant's skylanes.
