Hovercraft Boat Why have we not seen one of the greatest British inventions used in the UK floods?
Am i right in thinking the British invented the "hovercraft" which as been built in many different sizes.
Watching the news reports on a regular bases i see many boats being used to help flood victims out of their homes but were are the hovercrafts? Surely a vessel that can travel on land and water, as there are floods and dry land combind wouldnt a hovercraft be ideal.
Any thoughts from experts please.
You are right a hovercraft would seem like the ideal vehicle, but there tends to be a considerable amount of disturbance from the wind produced by the engines, which might be a hindrance in narrow roads, and whilst trying to rescue people.

How can hovercraft achieve greater speeds than ordinary boats?
Is it because hovercraft gets no friction? somebody give me an answer!
Yes! Water is a large friction but hover crafts just float in the air so they only have air drag.
