Now this is totally different story when we have this hovercraft that flies and it is powered by a small 70 HP motorcycle engine. The engineer behind this project, the hovercraft that flies has built the rig so that it can be powered by a small motorcycle engine and still be airborne, and guess what, it works. It is called the air fish, the name was given because it can both fly and drive on water. After seeing the video you will be amazed by the capabilities of this flying hovercraft. It uses a reversed delta wing to help to push the air downwards and to maintain the air pressure beneath it.

It was a great idea to use the delta wing just switched backwards, there is no need for designing a whole new wing rig for the hovercraft. The top speed of the hovercraft is stunning 75 miles per hour and being powered by a small 70 HP bike engine is more amazing. The gas mileage on this thing is so great too, as it has the 12 gallon fuel tank giving it maximum range of about 185 miles. Now many cars cannot get mileage and this is a hovercraft that flies which get that.

If the owner wants to make this concept a glorified taxi ride, they must get bigger, so much bigger. If the flying hovercraft is supposed to take four passengers and a driver, that’s five, the hovercraft must be six times bigger than this one and have an engine that is 10 times the size of this tiny one. Well a lot of time will pass until we get the hovercraft taxi on the call, but until then one person driving is enough in this great hovercraft. Considering the mileage on this thing it can be sold as a single person unit too.
