(...) That hovercraft is excellent, and I like the use of fairings for a propellor. It looks fairly powerful, but I suspect it would produce more radial pressure than linear thrust. Thus no good as a propulsive device. The film used for the skirt (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
