What is a Hovercraft?


A hovercraft, or air-cushion vehicle (ACV), is a vehicle or craft that supported by a cushion of air. It can travel over any relatively smooth surface, such as gently sloping land, water, or marshland, all while having almost no contact with it.

It's different than a car or boat because you're riding on air. There are no brakes and no reverse. You have to think ahead and anticipate your maneuvers.

Hovercrafts are also known as Hoover Craft, Hoovercraft, or even Luftkissenboat.
