UH 19XRW Hoverwing™ Ground Effect Hovercraft,

Universal Hovercraft is proud to offer the UH-19XRW Hoverwing™ ground-effect vehicle for industrial, commercial and military sales. It is available to our customers on a ready to run turnkey basis. The Hoverwing™, designed as a high performance hovercraft, is unique because of the ability to add wings for flight in ground-effect.

Flying in ground-effect enables you to clear obstacles and fly over rough water at speeds in excess of 75 mph. Cruise altitude is 2 to 6 feet and the craft can jump up to 20 feet to clear large obstacles. Operating in ground-effect does not require a pilots license, and the craft is registered as a boat which brings a wide range of new opportunities to the commercial and tourism industry.

Removing the wings from the Hoverwing™ takes just 10 minutes. With the wings removed the Hoverwing™ converts into Sport mode, a sleek high performance hovercraft, able to carry 4 to 6 passengers into areas that cant be reached with any other vehicle. The Hoverwing™ can be configured in many different ways to accommodate your passengers or equipment needs.

Notice: the 19XRW Hoverwing™ is not yet available for recreational use. Commercial, industrial, rescue, and military inquires only.

how much more power does it need to fly propperly?

[UniversalHovercraft]

@Vince62965 This particular unit is flying on 100 horsepower.

[RaudiAudiT]

put a v8 in that thing haha

[bigvwfan]

@Vince62965 almost as much power as you need to spell proPerly lol

[BumpWheel]

$85k give or take for one of these. I can't see it gaining much altitude and being stable as it is only relying on the rear rudder for turns and an elavator for lift. I could be wrong but I can not or do not see front wing flaps or ailerons. It still serves it's purpose and the HP needs to stay 100 to 130 or a disaster will occur. Better have experience before operating it to it's full potential

So how much would it cost if me as a normal individual to buy one. Come on, Money talks.

@J1I9M7M4Y Or clips a wave? I had the same thought. The result is probably not pretty.

@J1I9M7M4Y I'm pretty sure that's why ground effect vehicles haven't replaced boats lol.

[TheYozStudios]

@UniversalHovercraft is it possible to fly more than 100 horsepower? will you be providing models with 100+ horse power? i am quite interested in investing in one of these. how much would it cost to own one?

[TheYozStudios]

@UniversalHovercraft is it possible to add a higher horse power engine? and will you provide 100+ horsepower models?

[maverick28110]

This is what I call REAL low flight ! =D

[J1I9M7M4Y]

What would happen if the craft got hit by a sudden wind gust, or if it tips one wing into the water in a turn?
