2500 hours = 100 days? 2500 hours/100 days = 25 hours/day. We lowly mortals only get 24 and generally have to sleep and earn a living….
Wow, it really does sort-of fly.
Did anyone else wince as this guy flies over some debris while sitting on what looks like a bench with no seat belt or other safety equipment?
hehe, yes for people who are never not working…but us mortals would take maybe 200 days working all day…
This is a ground effect plane. It will only get about 10 foot of altitude before it fails to climb. The Soviets built many large ones as a way of transporting large amounts of troops quickly over water. The larger ones were able to climb to about 250 feet.
As far as safety equipment, I take it you have never flown in an experimental aircraft before…
And the reason your math worked out to 25 hours per day is they are talking about man hours. 3 men working 10 hours a day equals 30 hours per day…..
i wanna know how to designe helicopter ? so can u help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Check out this site:

LOL i bet you could get a more powerful like crop duster engine and make the wing about one foot longer and you would be able to fly crazy fast and go almost 200 feet. I would love to do that cuz you go go cross country at like 150 mph in a straight line and you would always make great time. You might swallow a few june bugs though. also how come there arent any videos of some stupid guy jumping out of that thing when it is up there. Thats probably the first thing most people would do with it.
many yrs ago Saw I believe it was on a morning show, maybe the “MIKE DOUGLAS” SHOW, I believe it was “Benson built a single seat JET AIR PLANE, ITS WING SPAN WAS I believe 13′ and it could go up to 300 mph
does anyone know what eve happened to those planes?

I want to buy this thing

I found the site hovercraft.com but they don’t
send it to outside of United States
I live in Norway, can anyone tell me where I can find some parts
or a complete hoverwing?
You can get all the parts from universal hovercraft. Or just the plans, all parts can be sorced it just takes time. I know as i have been building lots of their hovercraft.
