Hovercraft Parts Menu

Fan blades are designed to be lightweight, cheap, easy to replace, and provide thrust or pressure.

Fans lift us up and push us forward. The fan assembly combines blades into a single unit.

Hovercraft go over land and water on a cushion of air held in a skirt made up many parts all working together.

The row of "fingers" at the bottom of the skirt is easy to replace filling in gaps and adjusting to reduce losses.

Deck panels work together to carry heavy loads, and also to raise the hovercraft up.

The engine is heart of the hovercraft, it has to be reliable, strong, stay cool, and able to use available fuel.

The pair of fuel tanks are big enough to go to the most remote areas whilst balancing the craft.

Strainers and filters remove dirt and water from poor quality fuel and the pumps move it to balance the craft.

The instruments are the brains of the hovercraft, watching over everything and seeing problems before they happen.

Cabin doors raise up to provide the maximum possible access for passengers and cargo.

Seats have to be strong and tough to deal with wear and tear, and comfortable for long journeys.

The windows need to stay clear even in the worst weather or with vegetation or dust hitting them.

The yoke is like a steering wheel and control console all built into one. It makes flying the craft simpler.

Control surfaces vector the air from the fans so that the craft turns precisely as needed.

The thrust duct has to protect the vital fans, and hold all the control surfaces in exactly the right place.

The equipment rack enables us to mount new pieces of equipment though the life of the craft.
