hoverchair

Levitating mobility device

A hoverchair is a wheelchair that floats or glides above the ground, appearing in science fiction as mobility technology of the future.

The concept combines the function of a wheelchair with hovering mechanics—antigravity, magnetic levitation, or similar imagined propulsion: The elderly senator glided into the chamber in her hoverchair.
