Air cushion machine was built for Elders and Fyffes Ltd, shipowners with banana growing and transport interests, for study of craft potential; it is circular with diam oa of 18 ft 10 in., weighs 1 ton; Coventry Climax sports car engine giving up to 170 bhp drives compressor, blades of which run around circumference of craft, and it is also connected to two propellers; results so far suggest empty weight of 1 ton and air cushion area of about 200 sq feet would be minimum size; estimates apply to both land and water.
