A drive system for a hovercraft. The drive system includes at least one lift fan (8) for creating a pressurised cushion of air below the hovercraft and at least one propulsor (10) for generating forward thrust. The drive system also includes a primary motor (14) for driving either the lift fan or the propulsor, and a secondary motor (18) for driving the other of the lift fan and the propulsor. The primary motor (14) also generates energy to drive the secondary motor (18). |
