Jag undrar hur snabba serietillverkade svävare det finns. Å ena sidan har de låg markfriktion. Å andra sidan brukar de ha rätt stort luftmotstånd

Inte så snabba tydligen.

”The highest recorded speed by a hovercraft is 137.4 km/h (85.38 mph), by Bob Windt (USA) at the 1995 World Hovercraft Championships on the Rio Douro River, Peso de Regua, Portugal. Windt was driving a streamlined 5.8 m (19 ft) Universal UH19P hovercraft called Jenny II, with a 82 kW (110 hp) V6 car engine driving its two fans (one at the rear to provide propulsion, and one underneath to provide lift). Weight of hovercraft is 392 kg (1,050 lb).”
