The 21st century hovercraft: Designers create sports car-inspired design




Two designers are attempting to bring hovercrafts into the 21st century with a sleek, sports car-inspired creation.
Produced in the 1950s, hovercrafts never took off but cousins Michael Mercier and Chris Jones are eager to change that.
The Mercier-Jones Hovercraft will employ state-of-the-art materials and components from the marine, automotive, and aerospace industries but will be marketed as a vehicle that the general public can purchase and enjoy.
