H. FUN FACTS

• Hovercraft can travel over land, mud, marshes and open water, and easily move from water to land and

back again.

• Hovercraft can float on water even if the engine fails and the skirt deflates.

• Hovercraft skirts are made of rubber that is both very tough and flexible that can bend as they go over

rocks, solid ground and waves.

• Hovercraft are steered by turning the propellers from side to side. This makes the hovercraft turn left or

right as they move forward.

• Hovercraft are used for high-speed passenger transport, for moving cargo, and by the military for moving

troops and their kit.

• The hovercraft was invented in the 1950s by British inventor Christopher Cockerell. He also invented the

word hovercraft.

• The largest passenger hovercraft ever made was the SR.N4. It was 56 metres long, weighed 310 tonnes,

and carried 418 passenger and 60 cars.

• Hovercraft enthusiasts build and race small one-person hovercraft around grass and water tracks.

• Several attempts have been made to build hover trains - trains supported by air cushions that run on

special tracks. None have been successful.

• A ground-effect vehicle is like a plane that flies very close to the ground, supported by the air squeezed

under its wings.
