This hovercraft is designed for military and industrial users. It is very simple to operate and maintain and is rugged in contruction. The general construction is similar to a rigid inflatable boat, hard composite centre hull, inflatable collar and soft inflatable skirt around the perimeter. It may be transported inside a 20ft shipping container when deflated. There is a strong aluminium saety frame to which armament may be mounted. There are many options available including:- *Longer version for increased payload, normally 6-7 persons plus 1 crew but able to be extended up to 10 persons plus 1 crew or 1200kg. *Petrol engine for performance or diesel engine for safety. *Open top, half cabin or full cabin. *Integrated lift and thrust or seperated lift and thrust drives. Not so suitable for tourist operations as the sides are inflatable and quite high for loading elderly persons. However this feature is very good for operating the hovercraft alongside larger vessels.
