November 7, 200520 yr http://www.angelfire.com/tv2/tvthover/ This is for sale on ebay here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hovercraft-Boat-aircraft-ultralight-subaru-not-rotax_W0QQitemZ4587978287QQcategoryZ26434QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Looks like an EA71 or EA81 engine. I think one of those would be really fun...if I had the money.
November 7, 200520 yr The Russians built some REALLY big ones as troop transports, and concept plans include ocean liner sized versions to replace surface ships for high priority container shipping. http://aquaglide.ru/history_e.htm I told my wife that if we ver end up living on Puget Sound (we just bought a place in Port Ludlow) that I am going to build one to commute instead of a boat or airplane. The interesting thing is that they are registered as vessels, not aircraft, so you don't need a pilots license. They fly in ground effect (which equals one-half the total wing span), so if you want more height and speed you build a longer wing instead of adding horsepower. Can't you just see blowing past the ferry in one of these going a hundred miles an hour ... YeeeeHaw!

Even though it's not Suby-powered, it's freakin' sweet!
