levitational
Suspended in air
Levitational describes something relating to or characterized by levitation—the act of rising or floating in defiance of gravity.
The word appears in discussions of magic, spiritual practices, and physics: levitational forces, levitational effects.
In science fiction and fantasy, levitational technology allows objects or vehicles to hover: The platform's levitational system hummed quietly.
