Skimmer

Skimmer The differences between skimmer and flyers are not clearly defined but it is usually a generic term for a type of ground effect vehicle in use on many planets. the word skimmer is often used to describe  flyers but technically there is a difference. Skimmers "skim" over surfaces by employing air or Arti Grav cushions, but their altitude is limited to usually a few meters. These type of skimmers are cheaper and need less energy, they are usually easier to operate. In most skimmer models the artigrav modulation is fixed and does not need the computronic resources a full flight capable flyer needs.
