Abstract: Hovercraft is an important tool used for many purposes. It can float above any kind of space. The
Hovercraft is sometimes referred to as the Air Cushion Vehicle because of its ability to navigate through the air-
filled cushionnor skirt and cause the board to float above the ground, and run on thrust bengine. forward and
fill the pillow with the lifting engine. In this study, focus mainly on analysis and process regarding the design
and implementation of the Hovercraft performance model. The various factors that are important in designing a
model hovercraft process are listed here. Later, appropriate equipment was selected and Hovercraft
performance improved. The main problem is to create insufficient pressure on the air cushion and which leads
to a decrease in the accuracy and performance of the model. The main purpose of our project is to produce a
water-based vehicle that can also operate in less congested areas.

I. INTRODUCTION
A hovercraft is a car that floats above any other land such as snow, sand, grass, and water. -thrust goes
forward and fills the pillow as shown in Figure 1.1. In this project, we aimed to build and design our own
hovercraft, which can work in many situations as a car in relation to any terrain. The concept of hovercraft is
simple, starting with a type of wood that is loaded with luggage and has spaces to help the wood float above any
ground. Under the wood, a skirt or pillow happens, and it works to create a change in pressure by holding the air
in one place to create the necessary pressure difference between inside and outside the skirt. The mechanical
part of our project is an engine and control system that helps control and monitor hovercraft direction. This
project is useful and necessary for many situations such as military and security where hovercraft is best for
maritime protection and rescue. To work in the trade and hovercraft can play different.

II. AIM & OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this research project includes the Basic Thing of this project is to design a Prototype the
hovercraft with a simple design that can perform the required movement tasks. How to design a hovercraft to
travel at an average speed of 10 to 15 kilometres per hour. Improve the feature of everything between all
operating processes.

III. METHODOLOGY
Before the hovercraft design process began, we decided on the most important principles for building
our hovercraft. We consider the following points as a conditional guide:
• Availability of building materials
• Efficiency
• Economics
The performance of a hovercraft depends on the choice of material and the function of each
component. Building materials and parts are selected based on their availability and are easy to use in repairs
and maintenance when faced with a problem. The main goal that governed the process was a guide to achieving
our goal of a successful project. The most important factor is to reduce the friction between the hovercraft
structure and the ground. On the other hand, the cost of goods has played a major role in the construction of the

hovercraft. Next, we determined the type and specificity of the hovercraft design based on the material. The
team will have to order overseas, as there is no firm in the Eastern Province that is willing to do these types of
parts. On the other hand, lifting the chassis is more important than having high speeds from the driving engine,
which is why the average speed is considered optional.
Before the hovercraft design process began, we decided on the most important principles for building our
hovercraft. The heat energy will push the body upwards when the body is immersed in water, and the force of
force will equal the weight of water the body pushes along the way. When the boat is submerged, part of the
vessel gets submerged and pushes the water out of the way.

V. CONCLUSION
Hovercrafts are often the easiest way to think. Yet the process from perspective to manifestation is not
as simple as it may seem. There are many problems that need to be addressed in order to find the right
hovercraft. Plans and designs must be flawless. One should consider the weight and posture of each component
to avoid problems such as instability and inefficiency. This is an amazing machine that greatly reduces friction
which helps you to achieve greater speed and stability.
A variety of problems and features should be considered in the design and construction of a hovercraft.
The difficulties involved in maintaining stability and operational capabilities limit the application for
transportation only or for military purposes. The cost involved in making a hovercraft is also another barrier to
the widespread use of this machine
