Hovercrafts

I've been looking at hovercrafts to build my hover leg attachment which a player could acquire. most of the hovercrafts i could find were just generic ones with the odd exception of a military one there isn't a huge amount of experimental hovercrafts that were any different so i had to try and merge a few ideas.



the matrix hovercraft is a really good example of how i could go, its like a large container with magnets all over it generating a repulse field so it can navigate around the metal as if to hover. I've been looking at plane engines as a form of lift because the basic term is the same to move air around.

i found this image when i was doing research for my last project its an experimental train with the use of jet engines to move it forward, if i can remember its Russian design to try to increase the speed of travel without the reliance on powering the lines. an interesting idea although it does seem strange to look at.
