Abstract
The invention is a hovercraft with multiple lift chambers which are operable independently of each other. Independently-operable pivot arm assemblies connect each lift chamber to the hovercraft main body, and his gives the hovercraft the ability to travel over uneven surfaces, traverse obstacles that would block conventional hovercrafts, and climb or descend even severe inclines. The hovercraft also includes side thrusters which allow it to maintain its vertical position on an incline while traveling laterally across the incline.
