AI Thread Summary
Calculating the diameter of holes in a hovercraft hull is essential for ensuring proper airflow and cushion support. Key considerations include the purpose of the holes, the volume and speed of airflow, and the pressure conditions. A user shared their experience with a design featuring ten 1-inch by 1-inch holes for a 4-foot by 3-foot hull, which proved effective. New users are encouraged to seek formulas and guidelines for hole design and dimensions to optimize their hovercraft performance. Understanding these factors is crucial for successful hovercraft design.

Ask yourself the following sort of questions:

What are the holes for? What needs to flow through them? How much stuff is going to flow through them? How fast will this stuff be going? What pressure will it be at?
 
I have built a hovercraft and I had approximatley 10: 1 inch by 1 inch holes(this worked well for my desighn) which was a 4 foot by 3 foot square with a donut skirt...this also might help http://www.amasci.com/amateur/hovercft.html

hi
i am a new user
if you have any fomulation about holl design and number of holes on it can help me?
we have dsign a 2*3 hull around hover but we no idea about the hieght and width of it?
my mail is "ahe1367@gmail.com"
