+ | The following vehicles are propelled by anti-gravity technology to fly above traffic, and around the surface of a moon-colony without leaving the atmosphere. Licenses, lessons, and checks are required before a pilot can be cleared to use an air vehicle, as crashes and accidents are more likely to cause damage, injury, or fatality. | ||

+ | Air traffic for hovering vehicles is directed using holographic points and lines in the air to signify lanes and the flow of movement smoothly, and generally is active below an altitude of 1500 metres((Or just under five thousand feet.)). Aeroplanes and helicopters have a flight ceiling of 2000 metres, with higher altitudes intended for spacecraft. | ||

+ | On the ground and turned off, the four-seater Tarkanovic appears to be missing its rotors and blades. In their places is an elaborate hardlight projection system. Once turned on, the blades spring to life, and the helicopter begins behaving as intended. Generally put to use by news crews and tourist operators, a luxury variant with an in-built wine-cooler and black/gold trim is often used by executives and the idle rich to show off their wealth. | ||

The platforms are frequently fitted with hardlight barrier generators, tear gas canister launchers, and employed by police forces to act as quick control vehicles. Using firearms whilst moving above running speed is not advised, as recoil from heavy firearms can affect stability - especially at high speeds((However, | ||
