I used to use the TNE model, where a CG system creates a field of near
zero-G, in which the vehicle sits. These days, because I use GURPS and
it's convenient to follow its assumptions, I use GURPS' CG, where it's a
thruster that exactly counters local gravity fields up to its rated left
(but can't provide more lift than the exact counter thrust).
