SR . N6 The Saunders - Roe ( later British Hovercraft Corporation ) SR . N6 hovercraft ( also known as the " Winchester " class ) was a larger version of the earlier SR . N5 series . It incorporated several features that resulted in it quickly becoming the most produced and successful hovercraft design in the world . Compared to the SR . N5 , the SR . N6 Mk . 1 was stretched in length , with over double the seating capacity . While the SR . N2 and SR . N5s operated in commercial service as trials craft , the SR . N6 was the first production craft to enter commercial service . The Mk . 1 entered production in 1965 , while the Mk . 8 continues in production today . Experience with the design would lead to the very large automobile ferry SR . N4 , which is no longer in service . Configuration . After initial trials the prototype was operated by Scandinavian Hovercraft Promotions of Oslo , Norway under the name ' Scanhover ' . It entered service in June 1965 and it was later joined by 011 . They operated on a 120 mile route , with six stopping points , in the Aalesund area . These craft were later operated between Aarhus and Kalundborg in Denmark and in February and March 1966 also successfully underwent cold weather trials in Sweden , in the Gulf of Bothnia . The increase length of the SR . N6 allowed it to accommodate 38 passengers instead of the 18 carried by the SR . N5 . It was subsequently extended again to accommodate a further 20 passengers . This made SR . N6 commercial operations much more viable than any previous hovercraft design . By eventually increasing the capacity to 58 seats the Mk . 1S became the first hovercraft capable of transporting a typical coach load of people . Military use . Military variants have seen service with the Italian Navy , Egyptian Navy , Iraqi Navy ( Mk 6C ) , Iranian Navy and the Saudi Arabian Frontier Force . Civilian use . In 1998 the Canadian Coast Guard decommissioned its last SR . N6 that was in active service , commissioned as CCGH " 045 " . Survivors . The original prototype SR . N6 Mk . 1 ( 009 ) is currently on display at the Hovercraft Museum in Lee - on - the - Solent , Hampshire , England . With 22 , 000 hours of service over a twenty - year period it is the world ' s most extensively operated hovercraft . The museum has several other SR . N6 on display or in various states of restoration . One is operational and occasionally used for demonstrations . Capacity . The SR . N6 class is capable of carrying 55 fully equipped troops , or 6 tons of equipment . Toys . The SR . N6 has been the subject of two popular toy versions . A small metal replica was produced for over twenty years by Matchbox Toys , while a much larger die - cast version was produced in the 1970s by Dinky Toys . A 12 . 7 cm model was released by Matchbox in 1974 as part of their Super Kings range .

Air - cushioned landing craft An air - cushioned landing craft , also called an LCAC ( landing craft , air cushioned ) is a modern variation on the amphibious landing boat . These craft are based on small - to mid - sized multi - purpose hovercraft , also known as " over the beach " ( " OTB " ) craft . This allows troops and material to access more than 70 percent of the world ' s coastline , while only approximately 15 percent of that coastline is available to conventional boat - type landing craft . Typical barriers to conventional landing craft are soft sandy beaches , marshes , swampland , and loose surfaces . Air cushion technology has vastly increased the landing capability of the craft , providing greater speed and flexibility over traditional landing craft . Like the mechanized landing craft , they are usually equipped with mounted machine gun s ; they also support grenade launcher s and heavy weapons . These vehicles are used by the United States Navy , which first received the LCAC in 1984 , the United Kingdom ' s Royal Navy , the Russian Navy , the People ' s Liberation Army Navy and the Hellenic Navy . A LCAC called ' European Bison ' is reported to be the largest in the world . May 30 , 2013 , ay Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman confirmed that the first exemplar of this LCAC has arrived in China .
