 September 8, 2013 - 5:04am | The Canadian TV show Mighty Machines has been making the rounds in the Boston TV market and the kids naturally watch it and I listen to it while on the computer. Todays episode examine nautical hovercraft, Florida air boats and a paddle wheel boat. The air boat got me thinking about difficult environments in SF and adaptions the local speceis would make to deal with them. The air boat is specialized for the Everglades in particular the high seats let the operator see above the tall grass. Since PGC has popularized the hovercraf along side wheeled vehicles it would first introduce the hovercraft into an everglade type of enviroment and that would then get modified to fit the environment and perhaps the airboat would never develope. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
