ATLAS Hovercraft, Inc., an American owned, Florida based corporation is engaged in the design and manufacturing of air cushion vehicles more commonly known as Hovercraft.

Mr. Peterson, a seasoned veteran and professional with a personal history in the Aviation and Marine industries, is the President and Senior Hovercraft Design Engineer.  Knowledge and experience developed while working within the technology and transportation fields are the foundation blocks that built ATLAS Hovercraft.  It is his vision of the future that guides the company to new horizons.

ATLAS Hovercraft, Inc. is positioned to become the largest Hovercraft design and manufacturing company in the world. The air cushion vessels designed by Kurt H. Peterson possess advanced features that overcome many of the prior shortcomings of the hovercraft such as low maneuverability, high maintenance costs, and high noise.

A Hovercraft has the unique ability to travel over land or water on a bubble of air. The basic scientific principles and concepts that make a hovercraft function are over one hundred years old.

The technology to make Hovercraft viable for military and commercial applications, however, did not exist until the mid 1950's. Since the 1960's, hovercraft have been built worldwide for military, commercial passenger service, and recreation purposes.
