Curtiss-Wright Model 2500 Air-Car . Ground-effect vehicle – hovercraft . 1959 . Powered by two 180 hp Lycoming engines that ran fans located fore and aft .
Didn't cope with inclines , noisy and very , very expensive . The Army tested it out as well but found it unsuitable . Looks bloody cool though .
