What does an antigravity system have to do with increased speed of an aircraft?
Antigravity would make it float. It would make it go up quicker. It would not make it go forward faster. You still have air drag.

We exist within a sphere. The force that keeps us down, is the same one that creates wind and resists us traveling forwards. The only difference is vectoring
Meaning, in development of this craft, they were probably running a fine line equation between the voltage they can run, for the speed they can achieve, without frying everything

im currently scanning through more papers on electrogravitics which i will post my findings and his name Stanton T. Friedman has popped-up but im rather dubious about this guy.
Priorly, the thermal energy of burning fuel has been first converted into mechanical energy of motion which in turn was used to generate electrical energy, the wellknown boiler-steam-turbine electrical generator arrangement being a familiar example. However, in accordance with this invention the energy of a burning fuel is directly converted into electrical energy. In accordance with other aspects of this invention, the kinetic energy of a stream of dielectric fluid such as carbon dioxide may be converted directly into electrical energy. Further, the principles of this invention may be applied to apparatus for the generation of very high voltages by a series of conversion devices. Still further, the electrical energy so generated may be employed as a motive force to propel the generator relative to the surrounding medium.
By attaching a pair of electrodes to opposite ends of a dielectric member and connecting a source of high electrostatic potential to these electrodes, a force is produced in the direction of one electrode provided that electrode is of such configuration to cause the lines-of-force to converge steeply upon the other electrode. The force, therefore, is in a direction from the region of high flux density toward the region of low fiux density, generally in the direction through the axis of the electrodes. The thrust produced by such a device is present if the electrostatic field gradient between the two electrodes is non-linear. This non-linearity of gradient may result from a difference in the configuration of the electrodes, from the electrical potential and/or polarity of adjacent bodies, from the shape of the dielectric member, from a gradient in the density, electric conductivity, electric permittivity and manetic permeability of the dielectric member or a combination of these factors.

God I love the crap going around still about the B-2. Contrary to internet belief, it’s just a flying wing with some tricks up its sleeve. Antigravity, and gravity wells aren’t one of them though.
