Hovercraft Developments

Abstract

UNTIL 1957, Mr C. S. Cockercll had been working unsponsored on the possibilities of vehicles, capable of travelling over land and water, supported on a pressurized cushion of air, and to these vehicles he gave the name Hovercraft. The Ministry of Supply at that time commissioned a programme of assessment and research but did not pursue the possibilities further, so Mr Cockercll appealed directly to the National Research Development Corporation for assistance.
