[6] [10] The majority of that project's financing originated from BHC itself, which would ultimately spend around £1 million of its own funds on the new hovercraft by the end of development. [10] Accordingly, during the late 1970s, development work at BHC commenced on the new hovercraft, led by Ray Wheeler.
The main focus of the demonstration is the levitation of the hoverboard, which was achieved through the use of superconductors inside the board and a magnetic track. The board itself was made of bamboo and carbon fibre support structures. [9] The board had 32 yttrium barium copper oxide superconductors cooled by liquid nitrogen. [10]
During 2001, it was announced that the Indian Coast Guard had formed an agreement with Griffon Hoverwork to supply an initial batch of six 8000TD hovercraft, two of which were to be manufactured at GHL's boatyard in Southampton, England, while the remaining four craft were assembled from complete knocked-down kits (CKDs) supplied to the Indian company Garden Reach Shipbuilders & Engineers ...

In August 1962, the original concept for the SR.N4, which had been conceived at the same time as the SR.N2 was being designed, was abandoned. [3] This original concept had effectively been a pair of elongated SR.N2 fixed together in a side-by-side placement and would have been powered by an arrangement of four pairs of Blackburn A.129 turboshaft engines.
The Zubr class, Soviet designation Project 1232.2, (NATO reporting name "Pomornik") is a class of Soviet-designed air-cushioned landing craft (LCAC). The name "Zubr" is Russian for the European bison. [5] This class of military hovercraft is, as of 2023 the world's largest hovercraft, [6] with a standard full load displacement of 555 tons.
GameSpot gave the game a score of 5.1 out of 10 criticizing the "questionable physics, stiff animation, low polygon counts, and ridiculously difficult tracks."
