For instance, the Landing Craft Air Cushion of the US Navy is a sort of hovercraft with a range of more than 200 nautical miles and a top speed of 50 knots over water. The-class LCAC, one of many hovercrafts used by the Russian Navy, has a maximum speed of about 60 knots over calm water. When the hovercraft moves forward, the air cushion moves along with it. It is a low-friction barrier between the craft and the ground or water. As a result, the hovercraft can traverse terrains like mud, sand, ice, and shallow water, which would be challenging or unattainable for other kinds of vehicles.
