The Hammacher Schlemmer 'Flying Hovercraft' is precisely what it appears to be. The machine has the unmatched ability to soar above the water at over 20 ft, in part due to the wings that surround the 1,000 lbs machine. These aerial capabilities are remarkable, and although similar versatile designs have been created, few have been to reach the same height, literally speaking.
Hammacher Schlemmer prides itself on innovation, promising to only produce the best, the only and the entirely unexpected. This Flying Hovercraft delivers this very trio with its powerful 130 hp generator and 60" propeller. And even at 70 mph, the vehicle promises its ability to conquer mud, grass, desert, ice, snow, wind, waves and saltwater, in part due to its vinyl and nylon underbelly.
