(COMIC: Defender of the Daleks) As this severely limited the early Dalek Empire's efforts to traverse rough terrain on other planets, the Daleks initially compensated for this weakness with hoverbouts before they managed to invent casings with the capacity for independent flight.

Most factions of Cybermen were unable to fly, not even the highly advanced Cyberiad models. (TV: Nightmare in Silver) The Cybermen built by however, externally identical to their Cyberiad counterparts, did possess flight capabilities, (TV: Death in Heaven) as did the Cybermen of the Mondasian colony ship, even the early CyberMondans, capable of reaching speeds sufficient to counter time dilation.
