The Model-4500 is a triple engine Hovercraft which features elegant design combined with performance.

Entrance is via a spacious rear door located between the propellers with a wide 1.25 meter central hallway. This model also features twin "gull-wing" doors on each side of the main cabin.

The cockpit has a clean modern layout which is well appointed featuring 3x colour LCD screens for engine monitoring in a overhead console. With a large colour LCD Radar/GPS screen centrally mounted in the dash panel for navigation.

In the cabin, 42 individual forward facing aircraft style seats can be fitted or up to 5 tone of cargo can be hauled, or a combination of both.

The cabin features a "split-level" design, which provides twelve forward passengers & the operator a 360 deg view.

The craft is equipped with a toilet and a place for a small galley or an on-board workshop. With ample room for passenger luggage.

The body is a one piece fiberglass foam sandwich construction with a molded upper body with a durable gelcoat finish. Major Advantages of foam sandwich construction are... superior thermal & acoustic properties with no joints or rivets to leak!

Craft maneuverability is superior due to the innovative "Ele-Rudders" & "body tilt" systems which lean the craft into the turn. Combined with independent forward/reverse thrust for slow speed maneuvering.

The skirt system is dynamically stable under adverse conditions with an impressive isolated obstacle clearance.

Engine rooms are accessible from inside of the craft.

Powered by triple Mercedes-Benz 926 common rail diesel engines with a powerful 966 combined horsepower!
