Abstract: Abstract Speedcraft Transport is a small company of less than 150 personnel engaged in the manufacture and development of fast sea-based transport exploiting the hovercraft principle. The original idea of hovercraft — floating a vehicle on a cushion of air just above the land or water surface — was formulated by Christopher Cockerell in the early 1960s.
