... a distinction should be made between air film devices and hovercraft or surface effect vehicles.... commercial hovercraft operate at relatively low pressures... and high volume.... Air film devices operate with pressures as high as 50 psig (345 kPa) but at 1/1000 the volume. The operating characteristics, power requirements, and surface conditions are widely different for the two technologies. 4, record 5, English, - air%2Dfloat%20conveyor
