This Book is the design of a small-scale working model hovercraft which providing fully hovercraft basic functions. This final year project carries out by us to fulfillment the requirement for award the degree of Bachelor of technology in mechanical Engineering. The air cushion vehicle or “HOVERCRAFT”, as it is popularly known is the newest vehicle in today ‘s transport scene. As well as being new, this vehicle is different from other more conventional, terrestrial vehicle in that it requires no surface contact for traction, and it can move freely over a variety of surface while supported continuously on a self-generated cushion of air.
