The US company, Mercier-Jones, has proudly unveiled their first Mercier-Jones Supercraft™, scheduled for delivery this summer. This breath-taking high-performance hybrid-electric hovercraft has been designed by CEO and Co-Founder, Michael Mercier. Easily lifted by a crane on and off a luxury yacht, the Supercraft is also an excellent choice as a mega yacht tender.
“We are pleased to lift the veil on the future of personal transportation,” Mr. Mercier commented. “The amount of interest we have received is staggering. These collectable first editions are already highly sought after.”
The patent-pending directional control system makes the Mercier-Jones hover vehicle safer and easier to operate than conventional hovercraft, therefore paving the way to improved search and rescue, and even street legal versions in the future. The eco-friendly hybrid powertrain improves performance, while reducing environmental impact as well as noise pollution.
“To date, there has never been a more agile and easy to pilot hovercraft than the Mercier-Jones Supercraft, so we think we are going to attract a whole new demographic of hovercraft owners,” added Mercier. With features and designs inspired by the world’s elite supercars, the Supercraft represents the car of the future you can drive incredibly fast over land, ice, sand, water and everything in between.
With maximum speeds estimated at over 80 MPH and acceleration that will rival its supercar cousins, Mercier-Jones hopes to handily beat the hovercraft land-speed record this summer of 56,25 mph and go after the water-speed record of 86,5 mph.
