Hovercrafts, also known as Air Cushion Vehicles (ACV), are amphibious vehicles able to operate both in speed and in stationary conditions on land, water, mud, ice and other surfaces. They work by creating a cushion of air, at low pressure and high flow rate, between the hull of the vehicle and the underlying surface. This cushion is contained beneath the hull by a set of peripheral skirts granting the lift of the craft at the required height.

Abstract

Hovercrafts, also known as Air Cushion Vehicles (ACV), are amphibious vehicles able to operate both in speed and in stationary conditions on land, water, mud, ice and other surfaces. They work by creating a cushion of air, at low pressure and high flow rate, between the hull of the vehicle and the underlying surface. This cushion is contained beneath the hull by a set of peripheral skirts granting the lift of the craft at the required height.
