Ground effect hovercrafts are nothing new, but they
don't get enough press. Basically they float above a
special buffer of air pressure which exists above the

them classified as boats and go flying around without
a pilot's license. If I had some water nearby and a
few hundred thousand in loose change, I'd certainly
pick one up. But I have a feeling they have some
drawbacks we don't hear about, like when flying over
choppy water..
