Hov Pod Hovercraft

The Hov Pod SPX TCC Hovercraft represents a new technology for safe, top quality, simple to drive, strong, long lasting hovercraft -- very affordable to purchase offering outstanding value for money. The Hov Pod SPX features one simple control panel which are easily mastered in minutes -- this, plus it's incredible durability, the highest safety levels incorporated as standard mean the Hov Pod really is in a class of its own and the perfect personal craft for anyone; whether for patrol, rescue, survey, any leisure or commercial use.

Why Hov Pods Are Unique

This is the only hovercraft presently available manufactured using High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE). This kind of vehicle has to be really strong to take punishment in everyday use over water, ice, snow, stones, rocks, rough terrain, and bumps and dips in the surface.

Hov Pod operational uses

Extensive operating adaptability - the Hov Pod SPX range of personal hovercraft have no submerged propeller that might get damaged in particular extreme operations.

Hov Pod is probably the only vehicle suitable for many areas that can't be accessed by ordinary vehicles -- it can be driven over swamps, mud, riverbeds, tidal regions, shallow rapids, beaches with shingles or stones, open water, grass, sand, desert, marshland, weeds, underwater vegetation, snow, icy roads, sandbanks, roads -- in fact, any flat surface at speeds approaching 70 kph.

For certain military uses, patrolling, rescue operations and commercial users, one Hov Pod SPX hovercraft is cheaper to buy than the day to day operating and staffing service costs of a small helicopter or a number of other ordinary vehicles necessary to afford the same functionality on any terrain.

The Hull Of The HOV POD

The latest generation of the Hov Pod hovercraft feature a 3-layer TCC HDPE composite construction. The high strength to weight ratio of this composite is vastly superior to fiberglass, that is why it is used for kayaks (that continually bump and slide off submerged rocks) and also to fabricate artificial joints, ice rink puck and crash barriers for Formula One crash barriers. This means that the Hov Pod is lightweight, floats very well, but is much stronger and more resistance to impact than stiff fiberglass (GRP), which cracks and breaks up under strong impactive force. You could hit HDPE with a hammer or jump around on it without cracking it, which means that the Hov Pod hovercraft can withstand daily operating use, bumps and knocks that would severely damage other craft. HDPE allows us to manufacture hulls more rapidly to enhance delivery times and respond positively to demand that is growing fast. Unlike GRP that requires specially made reinforcement to be bonded in and also skills in fiber glass layering, HDPE is very easy to modify and change to accept brackets and extra equipment.

The Hov Pod Hovercraft

The Hov Pod hovercraft skirt material is a specially formulated nylon and polyurethane woven fabric combination with anti-rip properties and amazing wear resistance. It indicates you can operate in safety and won't be forever changing or repairing skirts. Separate skirt sections incorporated into the unique anti-plough IAPSS skirt design gives far better flexibility, ensuring continuous operational functionality and enhanced safety at higher speeds, guarding against quick and severe decelerating forces, for example. Some other craft use inferior and skinnier materials such as skirts coated with neoprene. Although lightweight and cheap, this kind of skirt degrades when bathed in UV and rip readily. Request a piece of our skirt material - we invite customers to try our skirt rip test - we cut a piece of skirt first with scissors, and ask you to try tear the fabric. The Hov Pod hovercraft skirt is fundamental to control handling, and helps our anti-ploughing IAPSS system. Plough in is a known issue with some hovercraft and can cause it to stop very quickly when traveling quickly on water, throwing passengers and anything loose forward over the bow of the hovercraft. Other hovercraft manufacturers accept that this dangerous phenomenon is just one of those things that hovercraft do -- Hov Pod have worked long and hard when designing the Hov Pod to try our best to stop ploughing.
