I'd been hovering between Ramsgate and Calais in summer 1978, when my parents picked me up in North Wales, where I spent my summer vacation in the PPSC Camp. The hovercraft was much langer, than that one here and it was able to Tage cars with it.
I would be nervous if the compressor fails while the vessel is in the water. Anybody know how they deal with a compressor failure or the engines stopping? Even with a life jacket, I'm a very bad swimmer.
AFAIK it has to be able to float with engines off, part of the safety code. So it would be the same as losing engines on a boat - be ready to evacuate if things get worse, otherwise wait for a tow.
As has been said above it can float when not on its cushion of air. The base of craft has watertight compartments allowing it to float. Also its lift is not operated by a compressor. It has large fans which draw in air and create lift which is trapped under the craft by the black rubber skirt.
No business it their right mind would operate a service if it wasn’t profitable. Hovertravel have been operating this route since 1965 so it’s obviously well established and successful.
£31.50 currently for a return(special deals also available for island residents) , the service can get very busy as it ships workers onto the main land and is also very popular for tourism.
The service runs on the south coast of England between Portsmouth and Ryde on the Isle of Wight. A word of warning; it can be a rather rough ride when the water is choppy. I don't get sea sick easily, but a trip on one of those things once showed me my limits.
No more expensive than Wightlink’s catamaran service. At least the hovercraft is beach to beach. Wightlink’s catamaran drops you off at the end of Ryde pier which you then have walk down or catch the train. It’s the fastest ferry to the island so if its convenience and speed you’re after then this is it.
Any one else could call off that bluff of his inspection. 1. Failed to check the seats are aecurwd 2. Failed to inspect the other twin blade propeller 3. Failed to inspect the monitors were secured. 4. Failed to inspect steering wheel wobbles or not. Lost goes on, because ehe ain't carrying a checklist.
I remember taking a hovercraft from UK to France *with a car* in the 70's. Very noisy. Like the Hong Kong to Macau hydrofoil - also very memorable.

Good old SR.N4. Powered by 4 Turbines. No wonder its noisy
Took a similar ride around 1978, while studying at Portsmouth Poly...
Nice to see they used a BMW Isetta for a cockpit ;-)

I used to travel on the hovercraft between Portsmouth and Ryde on the isle of Wight to get to and from school
Pretty much the safest way to fly that exists.
That walk round is very much like a pre flight check of an aircraft.
Memories as a KID 10p haha loved it now it’s double and HOOVERSPEED TO FRANCE
The maintenance on them must have been massive.
Interesting video, a;though some of those checks I would question if they were really necessary 😂
They weren't, they're just done to keep the captain busy.
Even if the compressor fails , it will descend and float on the surface ,may be water or land.
How interesting and it would be great to travel in one. 😮
Wow very nice naman sarap sumakay Jan❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very interesting video! Where does this hovercraft sail? How fast can it sail? It seems to sail as a very short shuttle... Thanks for sharing!
Portsmouth (Southsea) to Ryde Isle of Wight. 10 minute journey.
@@alanr9496 Thank you for answering!
Este seria ideal para resgate no Rio Grande do Sul no Brasil, ele anda na terra como na água !!!
Fantastic!
Would love to enjoy

Every passenger is issued a paddle
They have life rafts and life jackets and it won't just immediately sink if the skirt fails.

It's a British invention..... nothing more to say 😊
I travelled from Calais to Dover in 1975 or 1976 it was marvellous to travel by the hovercraft.
Perfeita a checagem
Is it cost effective? Didn't look well used by passengers?

Im watching this video and not sure if the hovercraft is still in operations
yes. saw them just now
Me gustaría pasear ❤🎉😢Venezuela 🙏 valencia
Nice video. Where is this place please.
The mainland terminal is Southsea, Portsmouth it terminates in Ryde on the isle of Wight.
Why did you tack on looped motor audio?
Woww amazing
Must be very expensive to travel not to many passangers
( TOO )

I want a ride with this, which city is?

Too expensive to operate goodness knows what the fare would be?

Se furar é só colar com chiclete
Fun to see, slower and more boring than your other videos I've seen
T o p. 🎉🎉🎉
Tàu đệm khí....
In my earlier comment please read as rest instead of float.
