Img.070 (G21) The formation of force of magnetic buoyancy above the Earth's equator. This orientation of the Magnocraft optimizes the vehicle's interactions with the force lines of the environmental magnetic field. Therefore a solo flying vehicle favours turning its base perpendicularly to the local course of the environmental magnetic field (i.e. the field of the Earth, Sun or Galaxy). While flying above the Earth's equator, the main propulsor of the Magnocraft has its magnetic axis positioned tangentially to the Earth's magnetic field, and the magnetic poles of this propulsor are directed towards the like poles of Earth (i.e. N of the propulsor to the N of Earth, and S to S). Thus, this main propulsor forms significant repulsive forces "RN" and "RS" which lift the spacecraft. The extremely large effective length of the magnetic bubble produced by the vehicle's propulsors is appreciable even when compared with the diameter of Earth (see subsection G5.3.). Therefore, in spite of the small physical size of the Magnocraft, its magnetic dimensions can be illustrated by the proportions from the above diagram.
