Gravity is an inescapable part of life, sometimes essential to achieving our goals, sometimes a serious obstacle, sometimes helpful, and sometimes just a nuisance. Engineers are continually seeking ways to take advantage of gravity (the space shuttle uses gravity to return to earth and glides to landing sites, figure 1) and to avoid the problems which it causes. For example, how handy and efficient it would be to fly from one place to another if we could simply cancel gravity (which no one has figured out how to do). This project gives you a chance to think about and create solutions to a problem related to those of practical air transportation, the problem of minimizing the unwanted effects of gravity.
