With the increasing number of vehicles causing messy traffic jams, we need to think about alternate means of commutation, unless you really enjoy those naps when driving to and back from your office. Providing a solution, Indonesian designer Rizki Tarisa has proposed an air-travel system that will not only allow brisk commutation, in comparison to roads, but also make traveling safe and comfortable, while covering a wide range of stations. Hailed as “SKY TAXI,” the airborne service will replace the massive jets with small or medium capacity aircrafts for short distance travels.
Designed for the KLM Indonesia Aircraft Design Competition 2009, the SKY TAXI services apart from catering cities with big airports will also provides services in minor places with medium or even smaller airports. The SKY TAXI services will further be supported by a long distance, high capacity aircraft carrier called “MOEDER” (pictured above) that will carry five Medium Capacity Aircrafts (MCA) and drop or depart them in the midway to serve the medium or small range destination, without wasting any time in landing and taking off again.

空中的士，个人航空旅行的新方式
随着引起混乱交通堵塞的汽车数量的增加，我们需要考虑其他的交通方式，除非你真喜欢开车往返于你的办公室间的那些小睡时光。印度尼西亚的设计师 Rizki Tarisa 提出了解决方案，建议采用一种航空旅行系统，不仅能提供迅速的交通，比起公路，它还能使旅行安全和舒适，同时能为大范围的站点提供服务。称为“空中的士”，这种空中服务能取代那些提供短途旅行的小型或中型承载力的巨大喷气式飞机。
此项设计是为了参加2009年KLM 印度尼西亚飞机设计大赛，这项空中的士服务除了向城市提供大型机场，还会采用中型或较小型机场向较小地区提供服务。此外，一种名为“MOEDER”（上面图片）的远程高承载力航空母舰将支持这种空中的士服务，它能携带五架中等承载力的飞机（MCA），在中途降落或起飞，为中等或较小范围内的站点提供服务，不会浪费再次降落和起飞的时间。
