Gravcraft

Gravcraft are vehicles that employ Gravity control technology for transportation purposes.

• Gravcraft are flyers and typically travel through a planet's atmosphere.
• Please see Gravity control technology for more information.
• It is a type of vehicle.

Description (Specifications)

Gravity control technology is the key technology that makes gravcraft work.

• The gravity control produces both weight-neutralization and thrust. Also know as grav, anti-grav, or contragrav.
• This control of the force of gravity allows construction of vehicles, like the Air/Raft and G-Carrier, mapping of object mass through Densitometers, and safety equipment like the Grav Parachute.
