Hovercraft

Modelling and Fabricating a RC Hovercraft



University Of Delhi

What is a hovercraft ?

  • A vehicle capable of travelling over multiple surfaces on a cushion of slow moving, high-pressure air.
  • The air is ejected against the surface below and contained within a skirt.
  • A propeller in the vertical plane used to provide the thrust, to move forward.

A Real Hovercraft Can Move on Water


Can Move on Land


Even ...


A Hovercraft Model

  • Is not as big and good looking
  • May move on water (if built with great precision)


Why Build It ?

  • To try and test our (theoretical) knowledge of physics and mathematics specially Bernouli's Theorem and Linear Algebra against real world conditions.
  • Use it later as a toy
