    Technically speaking it is about a vehicle that runs on an air cushion which is maintained below the platform/deck/hull and levitates on air with practically NO contact with the surface over which it is running. This vehicle thus HOVERS at a place when powered,hence it is called a hovercraft. I made it using: 1arduino development board 2 a brushed DC motor and IC-L293D 3 A brushless motor EMAX 2822 4 A plastic geared 9gm servo motor 5 A Lithium Polymer battery pack- 3cell,20-30c,2200 mAh 6 And an ESC for brushless motor 7 two propellers ,6x3 for lifting fan and other 8x4(not sure) for thrust(linear motion)

    Amphibious Surveillance Hovercraft

    Presented By: Muhammad Arshad (2902831002) Saurabh Srivastava (0802831087)

    Under The Guidance of: Mrs. Nisha Thakur (Assistant Professor)

    Introduction
    Hover Craft is an all terrain vehicle primarily used for surveillance and surveying purposes. In the proposed project we are trying to develop a prototype which would work on the same principle of working as followed by the commercial grade hovercrafts.

    Basic Principle
    A fan is mounted horizontally on the deck in a hole to produce a certain minimum level of thrust so as to lift the craft a few millimeters above the surface. The required thrust level is achieved with the help of a flexible balloon like structure at the bottom of the craft made of nylon or a fabric alike(known as skirt).
