A hovercraft capable of performing vector propulsion by using a single-ducted fan (2) comprises a hull (1) and a single-ducted fan disposed on the hull. The single-ducted fan comprises a barrel-shaped housing (21) and a paddle assembly (22) disposed in an inner cavity of the housing, a first air outlet (211) being provided on the end, facing the tail part of the hull, of the housing, a diversion rudder (212) capable of sealing the first air outlet being disposed on the housing. Two first wind guide pipes (213) which are separately communicated with the inner cavity of the housing are also respectively arranged at the two sides of the housing; and a second air outlet (214), facing the outside of the single-ducted fan, is provided on each first wind guide pipe. The second air outlets and the first air outlet are provided along the opposite directions and form an included angle that is larger than 0. The hovercraft uses a single-ducted fan to match a first air outlet, a diversion rudder, second air outlets, and first wind guide pipes for completing tasks such as propelling, hovering, steering, and retreating of the hovercraft. The hovercraft is simple in structure, convenient to maintain, and very stable in travelling process.
