Hovercraft may be set for a comeback due to the global rise in sea levels and the blurring of boundaries between land and sea. Griffon Hoverwork, a British manufacturer, believes this technology, which is over 70 years old, still has the potential for growth. Hovercrafts are known for their ability to operate on both land and sea and their speed, making them a unique form of transport. While the technology has faced challenges in the past, such as noise and high operating costs, new developments in lightweight materials and fuel efficiency are making hovercrafts more viable for commercial use.
