Airboats

	We don’t make airboats because airboats are extremely unsafe. Airboats kill and maim people every year. Due to their small width, flat bottom and high-mounted forced engine, airboats have low lateral stability and, when turning at speed, with their side facing a wave or blade, they capsize. If you don’t want to one day find yourself inside a cabin filled with icy water, pay attention to time-tested hovercraft. They are wider, and therefore much more difficult to tip over. For example, an airboat for 10 people will have a width of 2 meters, and a hovercraft – 4 meters. Below are some of the most famous accident cases. But in reality there are many more of them, because… Only cases of death receive wide attention.  What a coup looks like through the eyes of a navigator: https://youtu.be/yWMHJL9WHcs?si=lylBnbDWswYgzI9e Do you want to risk your life and the lives of your passengers? Your choice is an airboat.
