How do hovercrafts glide and fly... what makes them fly if the air is making it hover?
their are several forces at work but the main one is a cushion of high perasure air - the fan blades do not so much act as thrust as increasing the air preasure under the hovercraft - a rubber skirt surrounds the craft to keep the air in - if the hovercraft goes to high the air flows out and air preasure is lost and no more hovering - so hovercraft arent really flying so much as just sitting on a cushion of air - forward propulsion can come from a variety of engines but can be also produced by tilting the craft slightly allowing a bit of high preasure to escape from one side of the skirt

What is a hovercraft?
A hovercraft is meant not to fly high but to hover just above the surface of water and land. The propeller is on the bottom of the craft. When the propeller turns, it pushes air down, against the surface. A "skirt" around the edge of the hovercraft helps to confine the air, allowing the hovercraft to ride a short distance above the surface. A second source of thrust moves the craft forward. Instead of using the lift of a wing, the hovercraft rides on a cushion of air.
