00:00A 150-ton warship glides over jagged boulders without touching them.
00:06Massive lift fans pump millions of cubic feet of air beneath the aluminum hull.
00:12Flexible rubberized neoprene skirts trap this high-pressure air inside a giant perimeter wall.
00:19Fingered segments bleed controlled air outward, letting the entire craft ride on a millimeter cushion.
00:25This trapped pneumatic cushion creates near frictionless movement, allowing heavy loads to traverse solid land.
