- In this paper, the authors presented some technical and economic relations to which a team designing a new means of transport should pay attention. In the first chapter briefly describes the hovercraft designed and built at the Institute of Aviation, as well as showing the certification documents obtained in the process of certification by the Polish Register of Shipping and Inland Navigation Office. The second chapter shows some parts of the production process. In the third chapter shows the drive unit and the characteristics of the selected motor. Problems of selecting a drive unit for a newly designed hovercraft aimed at transporting people and goods were described. The choice of propulsion engine, its quality and the kind of fuel affect the cost of purchase as well as the time and exploitation costs. A user planning a transport network pays particular attention to minimizing operating costs and the consequent reliability and safety. The authors presented regulations and standards, which need to be met by the transport unit designed for use in the public area. Attention was also paid to ecology, noise and pollution. An algorithm, which takes into account the rules of conduct, requirements of the ordering party and conditions of the manufacturer, was proposed. In conclusion, the generalized technical and economic guidelines are proposed which, in the authors’ opinion, may aid the development of a conceptual design of new modes of transport – not only the hovercraft.
