Well.... if they use something like a gas turbine engine, they'd 
basically like it and keep running. Might look fairly spectacular

I love the idea of pit traps ;)

I think grav tanks would either follow lines of gravitic equilibrium, 
which is independant of undulations (High PSB factor here). Or would 
have the ability to fly through a fairly high hieght range.
