    The High-Speed Million Ton Nuclear Hovercraft,

    Long: 800m
    Width: 200m
    Tonnage: 1 Million Ton
    Speed: 300km/ph (may be more)
    Power: Nuclear energy
    Propeller: 40 steam propeller

    The top of Nuclear Hovercraft build a air station, the passenger can take on or off airplane on the boat.

    Present, the oil price is reached 66$, and air quality is getting worse and worse. Develop nuclear vehicle is the solution of the future.

    There have been many large hovercraft proposals. The funny thing about large hovercraft is that they are very efficient, the larger the more efficient.

    There is little reason for a sea going hovercraft (long journey) to be totally amphibious. Most of the super large designs happen to be SES (Surface Effect Ship) using propellers.

    Don't be showing propellers on the bottom of a flexible stern skirt. First off the propellers would tear up the skirt upon contact, secondly it would no longer be a amphibious (water and land) design.
