How else could this thing be hovering around like this? No way its a dirigible if those are cargo containers on the inside, and if the engine on the back is anything to go by, the lights on the bottom aren’t rockets keeping it up there.

Rogue calls the boots she gives you “Anti-gravs” they enable some hovering.

If by “mainstream anti-grav tech” you mean lighter-than-air assisted by jets, props or other kinds of thrust then yes.

Question unclear, based on your screen shot I would say yes.

anti grav tech exists in cyberpunk, but I think that AV is powered by those huge reactors
Succulent_Pigeon
Yeah obvs AVs

Aerodyne Vehicles, commonly abbreviated as AV (pronounced “Ay-Vee”), are a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft powered by ducted jet fans. They’re basically one giant shout-out to the Spinner vehicles from *Blade Runner*, right down to the name as designer Syd Mead called the vehicles he designed for the film “aerodynes.” The most notable AVs in *Cyberpunk 2077* are the TraumaTeam’s AV’s that you see around the city or the AV you help the Nomads shoot down.
What you’re looking at here, however, isn’t an AV. This is a rigid-body airship, an entirely conventional technology that we have today.

Fwiw, the RED handbook does refer to these as AeroZeps, modern blimps, that are assisted with aerodyne engines powered by CHOOH2, or hydro powered internal combustion
They don’t use anti gravity tech, but are giant cargo zeppelins capable of housing an entire family of Air Nomads.
Afaik, the anti grav tech of the cyberskeleton was supposed to be the first time AG tech has been debut in the cyberpunk universe, I imagine these things will get a lot better when it hits mainstream, but canonically, giant blimps like this have been capable of carrying massive cargo loads without AG tech since the 2020’s.

technically, any **technology that look as if they reverse gravity even though they operate through other means** can be count as anti gravity technology… So a helicopter is anti-gravity vehicle. So does the house in the movie Up…

According to Edgerunners , yes

They use jet engines akin to the VTOL hovering see for the likes of F-35’s. Although anti grab tech *does* exist, David Martinez in the anime acquires a anti gravity suit for a short time.
