I'm in the 12th grade and doing a hovercraft for my science fair project. The problem is that I need to do a paper on how it works and am having trouble finding info on it. All I was able to find was a few paragraphs which is hardly enough. If anyone knows any about them and could help me out some I would greatly appreciate it.
Please private message me on here if you can help. Thanks so much in advance.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
the best place to ask for this kind of help is going to be in the classical physics forum. If the mods don't move this there, which they probably will, after a day or so try posting your question in that section.

Alternately try searching that forum for hover crafs, as I remember this subject being discussed there recently.
 
I am moving this into engineering. I believe that there has been other hover craft discussions. You migth try doing a search.
