The basic properties of flat sheet and flat ladder levitation systems are compared and contrasted based on the assumption that identical quantities of materials are used in their construction. It is shown that although ladder systems can produce slightly better lift-to-drag ratios, the overall performance of sheets is better, particularly where lateral destabilization must be minimized.
