Christopher Cockerell invented the hovercraft, a method of transportation that uses a cushion of air to move across land or water. The hovercraft is capable of traveling over most surfaces, including land, water, mud, ice, and snow.
Christopher Cockerell is credited with inventing the hovercraft - a vehicle that is capable of traveling over both land and water on a cushion of air created by downward thrust of air from the engines. He developed this technology in the 1950s and his invention has since been used for military, commercial and recreational purposes. It has revolutionized transportation by providing a faster and more efficient means of travel over varied terrains and water bodies.
