1. Hov Pod Hovercraft
Newsletter - February 2011

2. Welcome
• We decided to create an interactive
newsletter instead of a boring email,
so I hope you will view this on-line!
• Includes images and links to videos
and interesting links.

3. HDPE Hull Production
for faster deliveries

4. New TCC Version
• We recently introduced the second
generation of HDPE hull
• TCC identifies the model as a
Thermally Controlled Composite.
• We switched hull manufacturer to a
UK supplier who demonstrated how a
3 part HDPE composite could reduce
weight yet increase strength.

5. Unique Hovercraft
• The Hov Pod SPX TCC is totally unique
• No other hovercraft has the strength,
lightweight properties and buoyancy
characteristics this model offers.
• Able to take over one ton in weight
before water ingression.
• Far stronger than fibre-glass

6. Skirts
• Hov Pod segmented skirts made from
polyurethane / nylon weave 375 gsm.
• Cut the material with scissors and try
to tear an inch – for over 2 years we
offered a bottle of champagne to
anyone strong enough to tear an inch
• no one could........
so we drank the champagne!

7. Samples
• If you would like samples to whack,
float, cut and tear, generally abuse
like hovercraft are abused, please
contact my colleague Joanne with
your full mailing address.

• Standard hull colours are Red, Blue,
Yellow and Teal.

8. Applications
Commercial, Rescue, Patrol, Leisure, Rental. SuperYacht

9. Hovercraft Applications
• We now supply ground surveying
Hov Pods for identifying UXO
• Unexploded Ordnance can lay hidden
in ground for many years after a war,
& become unstable as they deteriorate
• Millions of UXO scattered worldwide
often the casualties are innocent
farmers trying to plough land or
women & children.

10. Ground Survey
• It costs average $1000 to find one
UXO using metal detectors so we
turned the Hov Pod into a scanner.
• Magnetometers can locate tell-tell
signs for UXO, mineral deposits for oil
exploration, precious metals and
historic sites. GPS map plots location

lift 325 Kgs 718 pounds
