Hovercraft review:

Typhoon MAD-81L hovercraft are 3-4 person high performance hovercraft, ideal for work, rescue or personal use. Hovercraft was originally designed for work and rescue on lakes and floods allowing users to do work and rescue as close as to the water/ice/mud surface is possible with minimum side tilt of a hovercraft. That makes work more easy, fast and safe. Typhoon MAD-81L hovercraft have optimized flow for more efficient thrust as well 4 - aerodynamic rudders for steering. Rudders are installed behind the duct (not inside). Combination of high efficient flow and high efficient rudder system results high responsive manoeuvrability of this hovercraft. It is easy to control it and fast to learn the ride. With more than 350 lit. in-built flotation all around hovercraft bottom and inside sandwich core bottom, that is also eXtra protected with KEVLAR layers, our hovercraft safely floats like a raft when motor is switched off as well is unbreakable under full payload, and can resist most of heavy rock impacts. Hovercraft is unsinkable with 3 people on board. Can you imagine swimming in icy lake in worst case scenario? With MAD Hovercraft, that option is excluded. Transportation on road is by car and a trailer. Trailer is modified for ‘fly-on, fly-off’. Trailer tilts and hovercraft slides down and same second is ready to use. Loading is also fast, you simply fly on tilted trailer and hovercraft is loaded. Typhoon sides are all heavy duty made ‘step-on’ type, stainless handle grab rails are heavy duty as well. Hovercraft cockpit is 120 cm wide inside where you have plenty space to transport your crew. You will always find extra space to transport other stuff with you, or put your fish or bird catch inside the hovercraft if you use it for fishing. You will find our hovercraft useful also for various agricultural works, mosquito control, spraying, detecting… Design of our hull will allow you many universal uses of a hovercraft and save you many troubles. Work with hovercraft is fast, safe and fun and takes you to places ordinary boats can not navigate, while hovercraft are fully amphibious. Typhoon hovercraft is also equipped with powerful lights for night work. Beside turn key hovercraft we also sell and ship ‘power-off’ hovercraft MAD-81L. It is complete hovercraft without motor frame and without motor unit. It is for home builders who wants to install their own motors on hovercraft.
