Hello.
This is my 2nd blog about the history of hovercrafts from my first one. This one will be about what happened after and more different things too from my 1st blog. I will be doing 1-2 more blogs about hovercrafts and then I'll start doing blogs about hoverboards and hovering.
The first thing is what happened a few years later after 1958, (from when Mr. Cockerell made the first official hovercraft. In 1960 the demand for riding hovercraft rose quite high. The were the hit for traveling by water. Nobody wanted planes, boats, cars, no nothing. They only wanted to ride on hovercrafts. Ten years later passenger hovercrafts were introduced to the market. They were better because they could fit more than 1 person than they did before. Except there was a downside, because of the added weight from the extra 1-5 passengers the hovercrafts increased in weight so then they were slower. Therefore they went to places slower than usual and fuel costs rose up because of more refill and etc. After that part in history hovercrafts were less popular and less needed because of planes and cars getting more advanced. Nowadays there is only 1 actual hovercraft transportation in Britain that is the one between Southsea and Ryde. Other people were also involved in hovercraft inspiration and other thoughts about it. Thos people were: Sir John Issac Thornycroft (England), Tovio J. Kaario (Finland), and Vladimir Levkov (Canada).
This has been my 2nd blog about hovercrafts and other sorts. Stay tuned for my 3rd blog quite soon and my vlog.
