Composite Construction

Hovercraft are made from a solid foam core laminated in plywood and fiberglass. This is a very strong and lightweight construction method used in many marine and aircraft applications.

What is a composite? a solid material that results when two or more different substances, each with its own characteristics, are combined to create a new substance whose properties are superior to those of the original components in a specific application.

Wood Rib & Stringer Construction

Ribs are structural crosspieces that combine with stringers to make up the framework of the hovercraft. Rib and stringer construction is used in the building of aircraft and boats. It’s lightweight and strong. Some builders prefer this construction method because of its simplicity and the skills required parallel that of a woodworker or carpenter.

Aluminum Construction

Aluminum is a great material to use when building hovercraft, thanks in part to its unique properties and characteristics. It’s strong, lightweight, predictable and inexpensive. Aluminum if a good construction material for builders of all skill levels. Aluminum hovercraft are made with ribs, stringers and aluminum skin.
