M.A.V.

The M.A.V. (Manned Aerial Vehicle) is the most common form of personal transport across the realms, serving a role similar to that of ground cars in pre-flight civilizations. Utilizing advanced gravity-manipulation technology for lift and propulsion, M.A.V.s offer smooth, efficient, and highly maneuverable flight for everyday use.   Designed for everything from personal commuting to small-scale cargo transport, M.A.V.s are produced in a wide variety of models and configurations. Most feature enclosed cockpits, automated stabilization systems, and retractable flight surfaces to allow for both tight urban navigation and open-air cruising. Their propulsion systems operate nearly silently, allowing them to blend into the layered traffic patterns common to modern skyways.   Performance varies depending on the manufacturer and regional standards, but most civilian models are optimized for energy efficiency, ease of use, and atmospheric versatility. Flight assistance, terrain avoidance systems, and route-mapping interfaces are common features, with more advanced options available in commercial or high-end variants.   Whether ferrying a tradesperson across a city district or serving as a family vehicle between platforms, the M.A.V. has become a ubiquitous presence across all technologically advanced realms. If it flies and it parks in a public grid slot, it’s probably a M.A.V.
