"The Spiran models are used as transport," Rikku said. "One operator, up to four passengers. I haven't stress-tested this model yet, to see how it compares. At top speed, it outruns a chocobo, but those are our non-painted variety."
Couldn't possibly let that go without a light tease, no.
"Since it's based on air, though, strong wind affects the speed, and also, the more cargo it's loaded down with, the slower it goes. Still chocobo levels. And right now, this model's been filled up with ethanol. So if I built it wrong and this doesn't work at all, then I'll have wasted some fuel that could have been food. And I know, food's a shortage, but using a little food to run a vehicle to go get more ... that's a good trade-off."

If everything worked.
