Hovercraft Racing Poster 
|
A hovercraft is a vehicle supported by a cushion of air ejected downwards toward some surface.
Sometimes called an air cushion vehicle (ACV) the hovercraft can travel over land or water on a cushion of low-pressure air.
Hovercrafts have engines that force the air under the craft and lift it up. The air that is forced under the hovercraft is trapped by a skirt, which lifts the craft up in order for the air to escape. Additional engines provide the thrust to propel |
the craft in the direction you want to travel. The air needed depended on the roughness of the surface the hovercraft traveled over. The rougher the surface the more air needed.
The first hovercraft was demonstrated at a British air show in 1960. The craft carried a load of 12 marines and their gear across a channel and did really well even thought it had no skirt. A Royal Navy officer, Latimer Needham, invented the skirt, which improved performance.
After these improvements were made the hovercraft began to be widely developed for military, search and rescue and commercial needs. Here you will find hovercraft for sale. Books on building your own hovercraft, plus radio controlled craft.

Dear Hovercraft Fans,
I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember the Bible story? It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing. He then leaves the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered. So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one. To read more click Lost Sheep
