British engineer Sir Christopher Cockerell designed and built the first practical hovercraft in the late 1950's.

It was quite small actually i think?!?!?!
Sir Christopher Cockerell, an English inventor, made the first hovercraft in the late 1950's.On 11 June 1959, the SR-N1 was first shown to the public.
The first DIY hovercraft was built in 1955 by British inventor Christopher Cockerell. He created a model using a vacuum cleaner and a tin can, demonstrating the principles of air cushion technology. This invention laid the groundwork for the development of larger, functional hovercraft in the years that followed. Cockerell's work ultimately led to the commercialization of hovercraft in the 1960s.
Between 1915-1917 the Austro-Hungarian "Versuchsgleitboot", designed by Austrian Dagobert Müller, was built and launched as the first air cushioned vehicle. See the link below for the story of Müller's craft, including photos. Throughout the period of WWI to WWII, a number of variations were designed in several countries, which all had their own shortcomings. Beginning in 1953, Christopher Cockerell, a British engineer began developing a hovercraft which is considered the first modern hovercraft. Most hovercraft used today started with his design. See the link below for a biography of Cockerell. How it changed the world is a topic that I can't address. The change would be in the niches that benefit from it's use.
