Industrial
Object's GTH
Industrial Object proudly offers the advanced GT Hovercraft design
for 2008. This dynamic craft blurs the boundaries between exotic
car and boat.
The GT Hovercraft is low slung, speedy, light and
every detail has been worked for
maximum functionality. The GTs airflow is directed
and fed around the craft with every
curve and foil of its sleek body, unique gill steering
vents, top air intake and low profile
spoiler.
Industrial Object has managed to tweak a little
more performance out of its
outrageous aerodynamic form. With Indy car building
technology, it weighs in at
less than 1200 pounds. Coupled with over 300 foot
pounds of thrust; its a white
knuckled ride that demands respect.
The intergrated lift and propulsion fan is shaft
driven by a 128 HP, BMW K1200
engine for a little German engineered get-up-and-go.
Take the GT from ground level
to low level flight in 3 seconds, with a cruising
speed of 50 mph and a top speed
of over 80 mph!
