Uh oh. You’re not gonna start laying more bubble are you?

Nope. Just noting if a craft goes fast enough, it doesn’t need lift from
wings to stay in the air.

I’m not sure what the orbital velocity that close to a gravity well the size a
planet makes would be, but I’m guessing other physical factors would come into
play that would limit achieving it. What you need is to lay a bubble of
frictionless air and antigravity. Then inside that you’d lay your previously
described bubble that lets your propellor work. It’s so obvious really.
