By virtue of its amphibious nature hovercraft can open routes, closed to other forms of transport; however, it will have to compete with ships, aircraft and hydrofoils; examination of factors affecting economic operation of hovercraft, payload capacity, first cost, choice of route and available traffic; by designing high-density craft operating at high cushion pressure, weight and first cost of structure are reduced; however, it will have limited space, and to achieve adequate floor area it may be necessary to introduce second deck. Part of lecture held at Symposium, Stockholm, Sweden, Nov 1963. (Supp to Flight)
