All about The Hovercraft
A hovercraft is a vehicle that floats on a cushion of air. Fans blow air down under the vehicle, which lifts it slightly above the surface. Hovercraft can travel over water, mud, ice and land, and they do not need wheels or a boat hull.
Hovercraft were first developed in the 1950s and were used to carry passengers across rivers and channels. Some still operate today, particularly where roads or ferries cannot easily reach.
