Abstract
The invention relates to a hovercraft, comprising at least one fan for producing an air cushion, and at least one thrust unit, which acts on the top surface (4) of the craft and which is used to propel it and/or to control its direction. Both the fan and the thrust unit have at least one airscrew that is driven by means of a motor (5, 6, 21) and generates an air current. The motor takes the form of an electromotor (5, 6, 21) located directly on the airscrew. At least one central energy generator (7), which supplies the electromotor (E1, E2, A) with driving energy via an energy line (5a, 6a, 21a), is provided in order to generate the electrical driving energy required by said electromotor (E1, E2, A).
