Land, water, or air? You choose. :)


Assalamualaikum to Mdm.Rose and my dear classmates.

It has been long since my last post. I hope that everybody is in good shape.

In this post, I would like to write about something knowledgeable. Did anyone ever wanted or wished to have a vehicle that can move on any surfaces? Here is a vehicle that I found while watching Running Man. ^.^


This vehicle is known as a hovercraft. A hovercraft is an air-cushion vehicle or ACV. It is capable of moving almost anywhere such as over land, water, mud, ice and any other surfaces both at speed and when stationary. It is a hybrid vehicle vessels operated by a pilot as an aircraft.

A hovercraft operated by creating a huge cushion of high pressure between the hull of the vessel and the surface below, depending on its size. The cushion can be flat after being used. When you want to use it, just pump some air in until its full and you are ready to go. Here's a few types of the others hovercraft ;

Mini hovercraft

HISTORY OF HOVERCRAFT

The creator of hovercraft was Christopher Cockerell in the year 1956. According to the theory behind one of the most successful inventions of the 20th century, it was originally tested 1955 using an empty Kitekat can food tin inside a coffee tin, an industrial air blower and a pair of kitchen scales. Can you imagine it? Using this first creation, he successfully developed his first design into a real hovercraft known as SRN1.

Well, that's all from me. I hope that everybody find this knowledgeable. 
Until next week.
Assalamualaikum.
