An anti-gravity field (AG) is used to generate gravity[1] or hover in another gravity field.[2]
Personal AG units and harnesses allowed for limited flight within a sufficiently strong gravity field. A planet's gravity field was strong enough for flight. Orbitals did not have a strong gravity field at its surface and so could not support AG flight; they used spin to generate centripetal force and not mass to create a true gravity field.[2] Technologically generated gravity fields could support flight.[3]
