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 and a gravcraft.

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.

General Gravcraft Types

There are a number of classes of gravcraft, which include:

Civilian Gravcraft

Civilian Gravcraft:

Personal Gravcraft (Single-occupant) (TL-9+)
Grav Cars (Dedicated Passenger Vehicles) (TL-9+)
- Politesse class Grav Car
Speeders (Hybrid High-performance Grav/aircraft) (TL-9+)
- TBD

Large Gravcraft

Large Gravcraft:

Very Large Grav Vehicles (Industrial) (TL-12+)
- TBD
Non-mobile Gravitic Cities (TL-13+)
- TBD
Mobile Gravitic Cities (TL-14+)
- TBD

Paramilitary Gravcraft

Paramilitary Gravcraft:

Air/Rafts (Dedicated Utility Vehicle) (TL-9+)
G-Carriers (Interface Gravcraft) (TL-9+)
Grav Sleds (Dedicated Utility Vehicle) (TL-9+)
- Rysos class Assault Sled

Military Gravcraft

Grav AFVs (Dedicated Military Gravcraft) (TL-9+)

History & Background (Dossier)

The first Gravcraft, or vehicles employing gravity control technology, appear around (TL-9+).

Starships also employ gravity control technology, but this article only details terrestrial, interface, and close-orbit gravcraft.
Please see Starship for more information.

Expected Technological Progression of Gravcraft

General Gravcraft:

Air/Raft → Grav Car → Speeder → G-Carrier → Advanced G-Carrier

Military Gravcraft:

Air/Raft → Grav APC → Grav Tank → Armored G-Carrier → System Defense Boat
