Keesling, Daryl
Tech Directions, v71 n1 p19-20 Aug 2011
Building hovercraft has proven very popular with the author's engineering students at Knightstown Community High School.

In this article, the author describes the hovercraft project and how the project provides excellent experience with design and testing processes.
