Hovercraft. Cutaway computer artwork showing how a hovercraft floats on a cushion of air above the ground. Air (blue arrows) is sucked in from above the hovercraft and force out into a skirt below it. This produces a higher air pressure below the hovercraft than that above it,thus pushing the vehicle off the ground. The skirt helps to contain the air long enough for this pressure difference to be maintained,before leaking out from underneath (bottom left and right). The propeller (top) is used to propel the vehicle and control its direction | |
