This is pretty cool. I would like to take one of these out for a while. Maybe on a morning commute to work, just blowing right over cars.

 

.... dude, that thing can't pull sh!t for lateral g's ......... you need something w/ bite for the rush hour slash:

 

Looks like the right tool for the job when both the floating bridges are jammed.

Jim, what's MSRP on one of those babies? Are they offering 0% financing now?

 

Who needs that when you have

 

You win.

 

Not so fast young Skywalker! That DeathStar ain't even done yet
Don't forget to wear your helmet:

 

Ok, now that you brought up my last place of employment....US Navy.... Assault Craft Unit 4 and 5....LCAC (Landing Craft Air Cushion) Craftmaster...Master Chief Petty Officer...aka: PWRMKR, let me tell you just a little about reality and fantasy.

That space thingy and saw blade somethingsomething isn't real. It's not. Honestly. Sorry.

And, them boats coast $22,000,000, new. I don't think you can buy used ones. So I guess that blows that.

Anyway, Our friends who built our wonderfully crafted machines (roadster) bought some LCAC from the US a few years back for national defense. We have a six boat detachment stationed in Japan as well.

I personally have driven LCAC-038, 79 knots (90 mph) up the Potomac River. It can carry up to 72 tons (done that and some), stop and turn on a dime. I've done 40 knots completely sideways (sideslip) and have heard of some extremists doing 40-knot doughnuts. Blablabla....the stories.

If you need to ditch the boat, just unload this and off you go. But that was another life...

 

Very cool.

$22,000,000, hmmmm. I wonder what the residual is on a lease?

With 72 tons payload and 90 mph, we could all go in on one to haul our cars and tires to track events.

Jim, the 'Powerstroke' is looking a little wimpy...
