Landing Craft Air Cushion

A Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) is a type of amphibious vehicle designed for military operations. It uses large fans to blow air underneath its hull, creating a cushion that allows it to hover above the water and traverse over various surfaces, including beaches and shallow waters. This technology enables it to transport troops, vehicles, and supplies quickly and effectively from ships to shore, even in challenging environments. Its ability to bypass obstacles and reach inaccessible areas makes it a valuable asset for naval operations during amphibious assaults.
