A levitating platform, which is capable of stable flight, is disclosed. Levitating platform ( 100 ) comprises a platform structure ( 110 ), which includes a bottom extended surface ( 116 ) and a lip ( 114 ). An air movement device ( 120 ) is mounted on platform structure ( 110 ) to flow air ( 30 ) into plenum ( 123 ) between support surface ( 20 ), bottom extended surface ( 116 ) and lip ( 114 ). The flow of air ( 30 ) in plenum ( 123 ) creates positive and negative pressures within plenum ( 123 ). The positive and negative pressures generate attractive and repelling forces between platform structure ( 110 ) and support surface ( 20 ) causing platform structure ( 110 ) to levitate off support surface ( 20 ) in a stable, easily controllable manner.
