Airship

Airships were large cargo transports used on Metru Nui. They were powered by levitation kanoka disks and piloted by Le-Matoran.

Airship
Matoran flying vehicles used to transport cargo in Metru nui. Airship were operated using a complicated system of Kanoka disks with levitation and increase weight powers. When pulleys caused the levitation disk to strike the framework, the craft rose. When another set of pulleys bought the increase weight disks into contact with the frame, the craft would lose altitude. Forward thrust was provided by a portion of Chute capped at both ends, with only a small amount of liquid Protodermis under high pressure allowed to jet from the back. Airships were built, maintained, and piloted by Le-Matoran The Visorak destroyed all of the airships in the Moto hub when they invaded the city. Later, the Toa Hordika constructed six vessels to carry the sleeping Matoran to the island of Mata nui.
