Is this an airspeeder or a landspeeder? If it is an airspeeder, the maximum altitude should be more than 1m.

Did you intend to have a value under Cargo, or was it mean to be ambiguous in terms of how many kilograms?

I know we're dealing with the "new canon", but if it looks like a lanspeeder and acts like a landspeeder, I would call it a landspeeder, regardless of what the sources say. Of course, I tend to be somewhat suspicious of official sources in the SWU...

You could put a question mark after Airspeeder, that way it shows you're not any more certain than the rest of us. Smile

Yeah, I haven't seen the episodes where the thing is featured, so my opinion is probably not worth a whole lot here. My guess from the picture alone is that it conforms mostly to the design of land speeders, rather than an air speeder.

I've been looking around at a few different cars' trunk spaces. Several are giving you between 15-19 cubic feet. Roughly 28,000 cubic centimeters. That's 28 kilograms of water.

So, 30-40 kg of cargo space?

If we want to do this more as an empirical experiment, we could just start pouring two-liters of Mountain Dew into the trunk of Dan's car, and when it's full we count up the empty bottles.

Chesire, you better got get the Mountain Dew.

One cubic foot is 28317 cubic centimeters. 15-19 cubic feet would be 424,755-538,000 cubic centimeters, or 0.424-0.538 cubic meters. Since water has a mass of 1 ton/cubic meter, you could fit about half a ton in the truck. Or 424-538 kg water.

It's not really the weight, though it's the volume. One thing I liked, which they did in a couple of places but not consistently was give a volume for cargo capacity as well as a mass.
