Hull technology (skids, anti-plow, buoyancy foam)
- The hull can be seen here assembled underneath the Hovercraft. Neoteric Engineers have put extensive effort into
designing the Hovertrek Hull.
- Here, the anti-plow feature integrated into the hull has been highlighted. Neoteric has integrated technology into
the hull that effectively reduces the effects of plow-in.
- The skids of the Hovertrek hull have been highlighted in this photo. The skids consists of multiple layers of
extra reinforcement to ensure their durability. These protect the hull from damage caused by abrasion and bottom
impacts.
- Neoteric employees conduct a foaming operation. Every hull is injected with USCG approved closed-cell foam to give
it positive buoyancy. Every Hovertrek has at least 100% buoyancy meaning they cannot sink even if the hull is
breached.
- A Hovertrek hull has been cut in half to show the distribution of the buoyancy foam. Notice the absence of any
air pockets.
- Neoteric employees set to the waters to test the buoyancy of the Hovertrek hull. Since the Hovertrek has over 100% positive
buoyancy, it could stay afloat even if broken in half.
