The hovercraft is a distinctly British invention, invented, designed and built in the heyday of post-war British innovation. As this BBC article explains, although fuel efficiency has made them less competitive for commercial transport, there is still demand in parts of the world where swampy terrain makes them an ideal transport solution, as well as military applications. It also spawned the hover mower.
