Abstract

A method of overcoming gravity, comprising forming a magnetic field covering the area occupied by a flight vehicle and by means of the flight vehicle itself in such a way that this magnetic field has a component perpendicular to the direction of the lines of force of an external gravitational field, this external gravitational field being used as a reference field; the proposed design of the flight vehicle comprises a torus (2) with a current-conducting winding wound around its outer surface, system of concentric closed conductive loops (8) located in the horizontal plane within the flight vehicle, a source (3) of electric current, devices for the attitude-control of the flight vehicle and other onboard devices (4) ensuring the accomplishment of functional tasks.
