AB-1 landspeeder

This article is about the modern landspeeder design. You may be looking for the Pre-Republic era prototype AB-1 "floatcoach".

The AB-1 landspeeder was a stubby repulsorcraft produced during the height of the Galactic Empire.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Its fuselage was little more than a box surrounding the two-person cockpit, with the front angled downward to provide aerodynamic stability. A repulsorlift engine pod was mounted to each side of the fuselage, giving the landspeeder its signature appearance. The AB-1 could carry two people and could reach the same speeds as the X-34 landspeeder, but had worse terrain negotiation which made it slow on hills. However, its superb maneuverability and compact size made it an ideal city vehicle.
