Flying Hovercraft



This Flying Hovercraft is a "wing in ground effective vehicle" by Rudy Heeman of Nelson, New Zealand. He has developed a hovercraft that can fly and could be used as boat or land vehicle. Mr Heeman spent 11 years, and made in the inventor’s garage, this hovercraft is crafted while using various parts from other vehicles like scooters, BBQs, and junked cars. The hoverwing sets off like a normal-hovercraft but when it reaches top speed of 60mph, its wings can be extended and it takes flight. This machine has a 1.8 liter Subaru engine which allows for a maximum of 225 kilometers and its wings are removable. When in flight, this machine can carry only two people or 160 kg, but in hovercraft mode the capacity increases to three people. The maximum altitude of this Flying Hovercraft is around 3 meters. via
