They trap air underneath the craft for the air cushion to be retained. Most commonly used material: nylon?

1.) Surface-Effect Ship
2.) Has twin-hulls similar to that of a cataraman allowing it to be more resistant to slipping perpendicular to the direction of movement and can use water jets for propulsion do to its partial submergement in the fluid
