In unversity i had fulfilled with my colleagues graduation project of ACV “Air Cushion Vehicle” (Hovercraft) is a craft capable of travelling over land, water, mud, ice, and other surfaces. While supported by a cushion or air bed of high pressure air which is ejected against the surface below and contained within a “skirt”. Although supported by air, a hovercraft is not an airborne vehicle, operated by a pilot. Our main target in the project was to modify its design as to fulfill the following: Guided wheels on land for flexibility. Remove the steel hull and add glass fiber. Reduce its weight from 675 kg to 345 kg (nearly half its weight) and hence increase the lift and thrust force also increase its maneuverability. That was done by the assistant of Egyptian Armed forces and was done in the naval arsenal in Alexandria
