A craft that travels over water and lands on an air cushion?
Hovercraft
What is a vehicle that travels over water or land on a cushion of air?
A vehicle that travels over water or land on a cushion of air is called a hovercraft
What boat travels over water on a cushion of air?
That would be a hovercraft. However, hovercraft are not really boats and can travel on both land and water.
Why a hover craft travels much faster than steamer pushing through water?
A hovercraft lifts the hull of the craft out of the water. This significantly reduces the friction force exerted on the hovercraft, allowing it to travel faster than a conventional boat.
Is a hovercraft like an airplane?
No, a hovercraft is not an airplane. a hovercraft is a craft capable of moving over water or land on a cushion of air created by jet engines.
What vehicle floats on air?
Hovercraft A hovercraft, also known as an air-cushion vehicle or ACV, is an amphibious craft capable of traveling over land, water, mud, ice, and other surfaces.
Who and when was the hovercraft invented?
The hovercraft is the invention of Christopher Cockerell. In 1956, he invented this vehicle that could move over water. The craft was designed to float on a cushion of air which required a mounted fan for power.
How does water act as your body's shock cushion?
Water acts as a cushion by distributing the shock over a larger surface area
Water travels in a?

How can a hovercraft go?
a hovercraft can go upto 60 mph
Why does a hovercraft ride on a cushion of air?
it rides on an air cushion so it can go on water, land, snow ect.
How does hovercrafts work?
WHAT IS A HOVERCRAFT? A vehicle that travels above land and water. The word hovercraft is actually a name created in 1855 for an air-cushion vehicle. HOW DO HOVERCRAFTS WORK? Hovercrafts work on the two main things lift and thrust. When working with a hovercraft, the subsistence lift is very important for the vehicle. Lift is an important issue because it is what allows the vehicle to ride on a cushion of air several inches off the surface. This process of lift begins by directing airflow under the craft. In order to trap the air under the air cushion, a skirt is required. This is done in order to create pressure under the hovercraft which forces the vehicle off the ground. the proper amount of airflow is very important for the protection of the craft's strength if more wait is added it will not go as far. this is all you need to know about hovercrafts ......... i did this for my science fair project
