INTRODUCTION
Hovercraft is a multi surface useable vehicle. Sometimes it also known as air cushion vehicle. It climb slop upto 20% depending characteristics.
HISTORY
First air cushion vehicle was developed by Swedish designer & philosopher EMMANUEL SWEDENBEG in 1710. In the mid of 1950 CHRISTOPHER COCKRELL a british radio engineer & JOHN BERTIN French engineer work along with similar line research. his first experiment were conducted with the aid of two cam & a vacuum cleaner with blower.
PRINCIPLE OF WORKING
Hovercraft work on principle of pressure difference. Air which comes from propeller goes to fans which is the cause of motion of vehicle. The air beneath hull would lubricate the surface & reduce water drag on boat. Large fans which are lift the craft are powered by the gas turbine or diesel engine.

chamber with a momentum certain was development CRISTOPHER COCKREL to solve stability problem. air travel around b/w the inside of bigger can & outside of smaller can. can inside the nested inside each other produced more thrust on to scale then the simple open can or plenum chamber did.

HULL CONSTRUCTION
Need Must
to adequate size for the total weight of craft & payload. be strong enough to support craft of cushion.(on landing pad) enough free board to support craft in displacement mode on water.
Have Must
HOVERCRAFT SKIRTS
Skirts is one of the most sensitive parts. Skirts is a flexible strip fitted below bottom edge of plenum chamber. Development of skirts enable a craft maintain its normal operating speed. Three types of skirts (1) bag skirts (2) finger skirts (3) bag and finger skirts
REQUIRED CONDITION
Contain
cushion of air beneath. Ability to confirm effectively so keep minimum loss of cushion air. Return to its original shape after deformed. Adequate stability. Ability to absorb a large portion portion of energy.
LIFTING FAN
Centrifugal
fan used .
Air
sucked into the center hole in fan. operate efficiently in an environment when back pressure high.
Fan
THE ENGINE
Compressor
& turbine is mounted on engines main shaft. One end is connected to starter motor & other lift fan. Compressor compress the air and push into the combustion chamber to ignite. Compressed air rapidly expand ,gas pressure raises the turbine speed.
provide the air for up thrust force. is designed to most efficient in open air like air craft.
Rudder
In
is mounted on pylons to rotates the direction of thrust. hovercraft generally used more than one hovercraft.
can turn at 180 degree.

APPLICATION
It safe around the swimmer as there is no propellers in water.
It will travel against a current of river with no reduction of speed A Hovercraft travel over the surface of water without concern for depth or hidden obstacles It can travel with great speed of up to 60 knots Hovercraft are unaffected by small waves and offer a comfortable smooth ride

MILITARY PURPOSE
Almost Armys
countrys army widely use its. craft are multi engine and more powerful then others.
CONCLUSION
Now Its It
a time many types of craft present in world. brings a great revolution in automation industries. is special vehicle for special purpose.
