Transportation on one of the most populated planets of the galaxy has moved high into the air, weaving between the towering skyscrapers that envelope the world of Coruscant. A great many of these vehicles are Coruscant air taxis, small open-air speeders that carry passengers to their destination.
科洛桑星球是银河系人口最多的行星之一。其表面布满高耸的摩天大楼。交通工具在高空中穿行于大楼间。在这些交通工具中,有许多是科洛桑飞行出租艇,这种开放式小型飞行艇能将乘客送到他们的目的地。
衍生宇宙
Unlike the majority of air traffic on Coruscant, these air taxis can leave the confines of the autonavigated skylanes to take the most direct routes to their destinations. Taxi pilots must pass a series of demanding tests to earn this "free travel" privilege. A powerful repulsorlift housed in the air taxi's ventral fairing boosts it to skyscraping altitudes. The open-air vehicle employs a low-level tractor field in flight to hold passengers securely without seatbelts.
跟科洛桑的大多数空中交通不同,这些飞行出租艇能离开自动导航空中航道的限制,选择通往目的地的最直接线路。出租艇司机必须通过一系列严苛的测试,才能获得这种“自由行”特权。安装在飞行出租艇底部整流罩内的强大反重力装置能让其直上云霄。这种开放式交通工具在飞行时不用安全带,而用低级牵引场牢牢固定住乘客。
幕后
The Coruscant air taxi was realized as a computer-generated model as well as a full-sized mockup. In the DVD release of The Phantom Menace, there is a newly completed sequence wherein the main characters board an air taxi and soar through the cityscape of Coruscant.
科洛桑飞行出租艇既是用计算机生成的模型,也是用真实比例的实体模型实现的。在《幽灵的威胁》DVD发行版的一组新完成镜头中,主角们坐上一艘飞行出租艇,在科洛桑的城市中穿行。
