How and why is friction cut down in a hovercraft?

Friction is cut down in a hovercraft by the large volume of air that blows out from under the skirt, making the skirt rise above the ground. In essence, the hovercraft is floating on a bubble of air, and has very little friction with respect to the ground.


How does a balloon hovercraft work does it have lots of forces acting on it and what does friction have to do with it?

It has lift by having hot air, which rises. Gravity, Lift, and Friction act upon the balloon hovercraft. The friction is a fluid friction known as Air Resistance.
