Aerofoil

Used in most winged craft such as Skyfighters, old-fashioned aerofoils are sometimes all that is relied upon to best the planet's enless pulling gravity. A special profile shape of the wing chord (cross section from the side) creates an area of low pressure above and high pressure below, when the wing is in motion. This effect produces a force of lift that is roughly proportional to the craft’s airspeed and wing area.

This is the most energy-efficient and simple method, most used for fast craft such as fightercraft or small shuttles. Due to minimum speeds and tight weight limits it is not ideal for large vehicles or those that need to be able to stop such as construction barges.
