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)[edit]
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.
Note that Grav Belt and Grav Parachute are considered forms of Personal Mobility Gear not Gravcraft. Gravcraft include:
