Extractions: A hovercraft is an amphibious vehicle that is supported by a cushion of slightly pressurized air. Although often seen as a mysterious, even bizarre mode of transportation, it is conceptually quite simple. To understand its properties, it is necessary to realize that the dynamics are more closely related to aircraft than to boats or automobiles. As a member of a family of air cushion vehicles or ground effect machines which includes wing-in-ground-effect or ram wings, surface effect ships, side wall hovercraft, and surface skimmers, hovercraft are the amphibious member of the air cushion vehicle family. They are the most novel among vehicles that are supported by pressurized air. Refer to the illustration below as you read about how hovercraft actually function. Hovercraft float on a cushion of air that has been forced under the craft by a fan. This causes the craft to rise or lift. The amount of lift can range from 6" to 108" (152mm to 2,743mm) depending on the size of the craft. The amount of total weight that a hovercraft can raise is equal to cushion pressure multiplied by the area of the hovercraft. To make the craft function more efficiently, it is essential to limit the cushion air from escaping, so the air is contained by the use of what is called a skirt. Fashioned from fabric which allows a deep cushion or clearance of obstacles, skirts vary in style ranging from bags to cells (jupes) to separate fingered sections called segments. Most Neoteric models have utilized the segmented skirt system because each segment can deflect individually when passing over bumps so that very little lift air is lost on uneven terrain.

Ogre: Welcome To The 21st Century!
Tactical ground combat games set in the next century, with hovercraft, tanks, infantry, tactical nukes, and a giant cybernetic tank called the Ogre.
http://www.sjgames.com/ogre/

Extractions: Ogre and its sequel, G.E.V. , are tactical ground combat games set in the late 21st century. In 2085 A.D., armored warfare is faster and deadlier than ever. Hovercraft, tanks and infantry slug it out with tactical nukes. But the most feared weapon of all needs no human guidance. It's the giant cybernetic tank called the Ogre. If you're new to Ogre , here's a bit of fiction that will serve as an introduction. Ogre was Steve Jackson 's first design. It was originally released in 1977, as the first Metagaming Microgame. Since then, it has appeared in Pocket Box and "Deluxe" large-board editions, as well as a miniatures version and a computer game from Origin Systems (now long out of print). A companion game, G.E.V. , added more rules and more units; Ogre and G.E.V. are fully compatible. A "sequel" in a different scale is Battlesuit , in which each piece represents an individual infantryman in combat armor. Starting in 2000, SJ Games relaunched the Ogre line with new editions of Ogre/GEV and both reprinted and new source material. We have also relaunched the Ogre miniatures line, with lots of new units in the pipeline, and we are waiting eagerly to see giant

Hover Carnage
A multiplayer 3D action/strategy game for Linux, Unix or Windows. Controlling a hovercraft vehicle with a variety of projectile weapons, you are thrust into a world where players speed through subterranean tunnels, delivering valuable payloads of raw matter and information.
http://hover.sourceforge.net/

Extractions: With the advent of practical nanotech in AD 2095, humans begin to colonize the solar system, carving out huge chunks of matter to make into spaceships and orbiting habitats. Much of the Earth's surface has been built up and tunneled under to house the planet's ever-expanding population. Multinational corporations sprout skyward within huge arcologies, entirely reliant on the hovercraft traffic that flows beneath them through a network of underground transporation tunnels. The insatiable demand for molecular construction soon begins to outpace the rather finite supply of nearby asteroids. Before long, disputes arise among the major corporations over asteroid mining rights, and grisly hovercraft combat ensues. As the sole employee of an independent armored transport company, you have no choice but to protect your territory and expand your holdings. Even if that requires a micronuke or two. The Game Hover Carnage is a multiplayer 3D action/strategy game for Linux and other Unix variants. Controlling a hovercraft vehicle with a variety of projectile weapons, you are thrust into a world where players speed through subterranean tunnels, delivering valuable payloads of raw matter and information. Whether you choose to become an armored courier yourself or partake in activities a bit more disruptive is completely up to you. The Status Hover Carnage is currently in an early coding stage. The portal engine is fairly complete and functional, the physics engine works quite well, and collision detection code is in the process of being put together. Tunnel generation works for simple tunnels, and we're now expanding it to support tunnel intersections and branching. For more information on the game's status, see the

Nell'hovercraft la sostentazione statica viene effettuata per mezzo di una camera perimetrale flessibile (gonna) nella quale viene immessa aria a pressione proveniente dalla ventola di sostentamento. Da questa camera l'aria si inserisce tra il fondo dello scafo e la superficie costringendo il mezzo a sollevarsi dal suolo. L'aria viene pompata nella gonna in volume sufficiente a rimpiazzare quella che sfugge dalla base della gonna stessa.

Super Hoverhawk Flying Hovercraft Are The Ultimate Amphibian
Manufactures and sells amphibious vehicle that rides upon an aircushion (hovercraft) and has wings. The wings allow it to fly in surface effect up to 5'. Located in Shalimar, Florida.
http://www.hoverhawk.com

Extractions: Super Hoverhawk with lift skirt retracted The New Hoverhawk and Super Hoverhawk The Hoverhawk hovercraft is an air-cushion vehicle that rises off the surface approximately 10 inches. It utilizes an inflatable skirt made of durable vinyl-coated nylon material that inflates around the underside perimeter of the craft and retains the pressurized air under the craft. A separate engine drives the lift fan which pressurizes the lift skirt and the air-cushion. Thrust is provided by a light-weight, air-cooled 1600 cc, 4-cylinder VW-based engine turning a highly efficient multi-bladed propeller through a belt-driven PSRU. The Hoverhawk cannot sink because it is constructed of polystyrene and polyurethane foam sheets and billets structurally supported by fiberglass and carbon fiber which are bonded and sealed from the elements with epoxy resin. The builder has the option of having an "open air" cabin with a removable hatch or any other numerous variations. The Hoverhawk may be licensed as a home-built boat in many jurisdictions. This vehicle will operate over water, marsh, mud, snow, ice or land. It will carry a 1,100 pound payload.The Hoverhawk
