Why Giant Hovercraft Disappeared π³π’βοΈ. #usashorts#shorts#fypAdded:
About 50 years ago, giant hovercraft were launched that could travel faster than ships and glide over both water and land. Powered by aircraft-style engines, they floated on a cushion of air instead of touching the surface, but there was one big problem. The rubber skirt underneath wore out quickly. Repairs became extremely expensive, and fuel costs were so high that many projects eventually failed.
