Extract

The phrase “Air-Cushioned Vehicle” describes the complete range of vehicles which obtain some or all of their support from a free pressurised cushion of air contained between the vehicle and the ground.

Vickers’ interest in air cushion vehicles stems directly from the basic work carried out on the Hovercraft—one type of air cushion vehicle—by Mr. C. S. Cockerell and the initiative and encouragement displayed by the N.R.D.C. through its subsidiary Hovercraft Development Ltd.
