This thesis investigates the potential of hovercraft technology to transform personal mobility and adventure sports, inspired by science-fiction concepts such as the “Star Wars” landspeeder. Despite decades of technological stagnation, emerging advances in materials, propulsion, and design offer renewed opportunities for innovation. Through research into the adventure mobility aspirations of young adults aged 18–35, the study developed three concepts—a midsize rescue/combat hovercraft, an adventure hovercraft, and a DIY model—with the adventure hovercraft ultimately selected for its ability to overcome the limitations of conventional road vehicles. The work examines core engineering principles, focusing on lightweight materials like aluminium and Kevlar, transitional diesel-electric and future electric powertrains, enhanced steering, reverse thrust mechanisms, and advanced skirt designs. Environmental sustainability plays a central role, emphasising the hovercraft’s minimal surface impact and suitability for varied terrains while exploring pathways toward fully electric systems. The final outcome, BREATHE: The Adventure Hovercraft, represents a high-performance, eco-conscious mobility solution that advances hovercraft design and offers new possibilities for versatile, sustainable, and exhilarating transportation in the future.
