| Hull material |
Resin infused composite laminate of structural marine foam, glass fiber, carbon reinforcement and epoxy vinyl ester resin. Three sealed compartments, front and rear provide 3000 lbs (1363kg) of flotation. No wood is used in the construction of the craft. |
| Engines |
Steyr marine, 144 hp (107 kw), 4 cylinder, 2.1L, diesel powered, turbo charged, inter-cooled. |
| Drive system |
The lift fan and propeller are driven by Gates poly chain carbon belts with stainless and aluminum pulleys via a flexible coupling from the engine. |

Multi-compartment skirt, with fore and aft partitions. Large diameter bag type skirt on sides and rear. |
| Skirt material |
35/23 oz/yd Urethane approx. 1,500 to 2,000 hour life. A feature not found on any other hovercraft! |
| Brakes |
The brakes, controlled by the operator, reduce the pressure of the forward compartment allowing for smooth slowing, stopping and turning. |
| Noise Levels |
82 dBA measured at 50 feet (15.2m) over grass, full power. 78 dBA measured at 50 feet (15.2m) over grass, cruise setting. The large diameter propeller reduces noise far below common hovercraft by making efficient use of power. |
