Active skirts that follow the terrain.	Mollecular monofilimant that
drags
the ground.

Small, short duration, high output null-G packs.  They take ten minutes
to charge and can lift the hovercraft for about a minute.

Come on, you're accepting anti-gravity but won't accept that we can
figure
out how to make a hovercraft go up a hill?
