What The Hovercraft Came To Be

Hello.

 This is my 4th blog for the genius hour project and this blog is about what the hovercraft ended up coming to be in this part of the timeline. (1960's). The hovercraft was used as a high-speed water/land transport leading to the utilization of: military vehicles, search and rescue and other commercial uses for the hovercraft. More people and other companies were researching new ways to design different models of hovercraft's such as Westland, William Denny, Vickers-Armstrong, and Folland. Later in 1965 a discovery about hovercrafts is that a function of the roughness of the surface it traveled over. If there was a flat surface (pavement, wooden flooring etc.) the amount of air pressure needed was so low that a piece of paper couldn't limbo under it, aaand that the hovercrafts ended up being able to compete in energy terms with conventional systems like steel wheels etc. Hoveverino, resulting in that led to terms and people who thought of "Hovertrains" though the concept was never continued. Even if it was going to be continued, it would be waaaaaaaaay too complex even for Albert Einstien and Steven Hawking combined.  


Goodbye.
