Discovery Channel HD - Universal Hovercraft 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.

an 18 hp engine? Wonder what would happen if we put in a porsche engine or say an old turboshaft from a jet hydroplane?

[UniversalHovercraft]

Its actually a 110 hp engine in this particular model. Lift fan absorbs about 18 hp at full power.

[Crashmagproductions1]

Where can I get one lol

[brainards1]

This is what the border patrol needs along the rivers and lakes between US and Mexico. Can get there quicker than a boat and over obstacles.

[Lobatschewsky]

How do you keep the wing from touching the water? I know ground effect maintains level flight, but how does it turn? It seems that a heavy hand could make the wing contact the surface.

Can you guys tell me if you ship abroad (Austria) and if so how much would that cost (incl. the 19XRW)
