The ferocious noise from a hovercraft is something to behold. And the craft I’ve seen aren’t nearly the size of the ones that hopped the British channel.
I’d love to see one of the leviathans the US (LCAC) and Russian (Zubr class) Military use (on friendly terms)
- CobaltFire 4y agoSpeaking an an ex-LCAC crew member: if you happen to be in San Diego at the right time ACU-5 usually has a day or two where they show them to the public every year. You can search it out. ACU-4 on the east coast may as well but I’m not as sure. NBU-7 in Japan may but it’s not a regular thing, and the Japanese LCACs aren’t really shown to the public. Can’t speak to others.

- CobaltFire 4y agoBut they are primarily made of aluminum and the force they exert is low if they are "on cushion", so the older pressure wave/magnetic types likely won't trigger. There are some newer types that would trigger, however.
