How it works: the hovercraft
The Hovercraft is a relatively new form of transport - quite different from a wheeled vehicle, ship or aeroplane - yet combining many of the capabilities of all three. The main features of hovercraft design and their method of operation are described in this book with superb colour illustrations and a text which is easy to understand. Modern air cushion vehicles are illustrated as are some other applications of the air cushion principle.
This book is part of the Archive Collection which is available to view at the National STEM Learning Centre.
