hovercrafts
Cushion-borne transports
Hovercrafts is the plural of hovercraft—a vehicle that travels over water or land on a cushion of air produced by downward-blasting fans.
The air cushion allows hovercrafts to glide over surfaces that would stop conventional vehicles: Hovercrafts crossed the marshland where boats couldn't go.
They see military, rescue, and recreational use.
