Designing a new hovercraft presents an opportunity to address various challenges and improve existing solutions. Potential problems addressed by the project are:<\/p><ul><li>Maneuverability (thrust reverser)<\/li><li>Stability (wide cushion)<\/li><li>Noise reduction (single engine and fan)<\/li><li>Payload capacity (effective weight distribution)<\/li><li>Accessibility (easy to control)<\/li><\/ul><p>Addressing these problems and challenges can lead to innovative hovercraft designs that are more efficient, maneuverable, stable, environmentally friendly, and safe. By focusing on these areas, designers have created a hovercraft that better meet users&#8217; needs and the demands of various applications.<\/p><h4>Main results and achievements<\/h4><p>Various aspects of the design process and the outcomes achieved were the subject of extensive testing of the hovercraft. It turned out that PRC-650 is reliable and meets the goals set at the beginning.<\/p><h4>Conclusion<\/h4><p>The PRC-650 Hovercraft has been designed to meet the needs of various rescue units, such as police, border guards, fire brigades, and water rescue services. Due to its unique parameters it can also be used by military units.<\/p><p>The prototype was tested, and compliance was experimentally demonstrated. The license for the hovercraft&#8217;s production was sold to a Polish private entity.<\/p><h4>Acknowledgements<\/h4><p>Special acknowledgments to<\/p><ul><li>Legionowskie WOPR<\/li><li>Farada
