Transcript
00:00A massive 15-ton military hovercraft is hurtling straight toward jagged concrete barriers right now.
00:07How does this colossal amphibious monster glide smoothly over solid land and swamps without crushing itself?
00:15Common sense says solid metal hulls are needed, but this craft relies on a flexible rubber fence.
00:21Huge industrial fans trap low-pressure air inside the heavy neoprene skirt, lifting the entire steel hull completely.
00:30This trapped air cushion dramatically reduces surface friction, allowing a massive 150-ton military hovercraft to glide rapidly toward shore.
00:39Any age, any background, same opportunity, sell, earn, repeat.
