Magnificent . A very much-loved and UNDERUTILISED resource

One of the best hovercraft reports - Great close up and action shots and even reports the price which is for some reason really rare!

I appreciate your video. It gives me new ideas in design, form and function. Thank you.

Saw something like this on a navy commercial it looked badass as a child

What a beautiful machine ! If I would drive .....

amazing machine... truly wonderful 🥰💝.. 👍🙏🏡💖

Cool ! Nice rescue vehicle for bay and persons trapped on/in winter ice !

Man, that's a very fine machine. I am green with envy.

Saving this one.

Nice drone work.

Very nice!!! 👍

Hand brake/ park brake @ 2.11 lol love it.

I love it.

I loved my hovercraft ( UH16P ) . it was unofficial because I used the plans for a UH 15 p and made it 1 ft longer and 6 inches wider..only one like it. Skirt wear was my biggest problem. I put a 4 cyl. Subaru on it and it was tail heavy it originally had a Rotax 52 Hp engine and weighed about 50#. The Subaru was about 82 Hp and weighed over 120 # . I had it for 10 years and it was a lot of fun!

Very nice 👌

Nice soundtrack on this one.. and cool video!! I'm so lucky to live in the Internet Age where I can have a small taste of this experience without dropping $40k. I feel it works best as a spectacle anyway - surely it is best that we enjoy this from a select few on YT rather than tons of people dropping their life savings on beasts like this. Very cool.

I like the orange one.

I thought this was an RC hovercraft at first glance! Wow

I'd love to own one like this!.....

Could this one be used on ice-roads that big trucks have trouble driving on? How practical is it? Price, load, fuel consumption?

How much minus the engine and fuel tank on the orange one? Can I select a yellow paint? Look forward hearing from you. What, if any, can I get a discount on more than one? Thank you.

As far as my opinion on hovercraft go if I had to choose between a speed boat and a hovercraft, I would take the hover craft if it had solid reviews for floating without the lift fan running. It would be ideal for someone who plays on a lake or river with many sand bars or islands. That being said it is not really my first choice for an ATV considering my local terrain. (mostly wooded hills and valleys with 1 big river and many small streams) personally I'd be interested in an Argo 8x8 (but too expensive at almost $50,000) or building my own tracked amphibians ATV for under $2500 like one of your videos showed off last year. Sadly due to the inability to find small car tires like the video I would have to find a matching set of used ATV tires and rims and thats not cheap. then building the hull after i have the tires as a base for measurements. As an alteration to the design I would be using a zero turn lawn mower for propulsion and adding a small prop out the back of the hull using the electric clutch that was for the mower blades to turn that gearbox on and off so I have propulsion in water, hopefully enough to fight a current. I have plans drawn up im just looking for the tires, and a place to work. I know where to find everything else. Then again an amphibious armored troop transport like the one you had on a couple months ago would be really nice. would have to do something about fuel economy though or find something like it.

Do you think it would be possible to slow down from top speed by throttling back on the air intake fan?

Island hopping beach-to-beach in the Med or Caribbean ?

Nice! I think you answered every question I had. A hovercraft isn’t very practical where I’m at. The Sherp is still at the top of my list.

Trying to find a website for this I need one either this or a MARS 700 whoever I can get hold of first gets the sale

Looks fun!

Double the size and it will make a nice yacht

Love hover crafts flew them in the service .

How durable is the skirt - I imagine a sharp stone or a peace of metal in the ice can tear it apart, let the air out, and force the craft to "land"? Also - reversing trust seems to be the new braking system - maybe also a more precise steering system.

Cant find any information on this at all.Can only find 2 in Nizhny Novgorod Mars and Christy

I would have hovercrafts & airboats for land/swampy areas/snow/ice/sand etc The airboats would be like the smaller of the hovercrafts and would have watertight seals for the cockpit/cabin in case of capsizing etc.. I would rather build one or part build them as $75,000 is a tad steep..

The idea is fantastic, but the regulatory bureaucracy is the big killer.

I don't need one, but I would like to have it.

Looks superb those Russian build some really superb hovercraft like the roof fan too

How to contact the manufacturer. Are this units still in production.

I want one

At the 9:38 mark, did anyone else notice there were two gondola cars crossing the sky?

How big is the fuel tank? How far can it travel? Wondering if this could work in sub-zero temps, such as in Antarctica.

i want a wessle like that hahaha

Ill need a hovercraft dealer , for a parking lot for maintaince and ❤ when people start , to buy them, lara 621 found it .

Cool

*?? How steep of an incline will it climb, for how far?*

Why does that hovercraft have a handbrake?

Specs

👍👍😘😘♥️♥️

Why not put reverse like airplane for stopping power .

great invention love it but too expencive

How mutch is this?

omg

A Ground Effect Vehicle is faster more fule efficient and more quiet.

I think it's incredibly inexpensive. $75,000 for something that carries 11 people with those capabilities is amazing. A hovercraft like the larger one would be a very good alternative to a yacht tender or runabout and the fuel consumption is much better than an equivalent boat.

Dunb

Who is the manufacturer for these? I can't find them online. Can you send the site in russian?

Awesome

Not what you would describe as pinpoint steering/handling.

And they said don't reinvent the vvheel

Like the secret service trying to find prices and delivery of these dont bother looking

108hp ?? I don't cleary eared

Hovercrafts are cewl

Unlike boats, ATVs and even small planes, Hovercraft seemingly never did have any have of an impact in the recreational marketplace. I have heard of small on-person craft as well as other that could seat 3 of more. One would think that a craft that could transition from water to land effortlessly would have been popular in that particular sector. I would be interested in any thoughts or reasons why personal Hovercraft never caught on.

The Russians make fantastic hovercraft if they stand up to Russian winters they are good enough for anyhwhere, Anybody got the website for this am trying to locate manufacturer

No point in contacting Spanish Agent they NEVER REPLY

Add waala jhoot bool raha hay

Let's see a hovercraft climb a hill... flat surfaces only

Yes , yes its amazing , now lets talk confort for consumers , how about puttig a bed for a 6 foot 4 man or women. Pluse a 20 inch. Water proof digital tv. And a small table , so i can bri g my lunch, if you can creat it people will buy it. And other hover craft companies , will start a. A price war , lara 621 found it .

Now use actual sound of the vehicles. People don't realize how LOUD they are.

I would have hovercrafts & airboats for land/swampy areas/snow/ice/sand etc The airboats would be like the smaller of the hovercrafts and would have watertight seals for the cockpit/cabin in case of capsizing etc.. I would rather build one or part build them as $75,000 is a tad steep..
