Griffon 995ED Hovercraft

Electric-diesel hovercraft with twin azimuth electric drive thrust modules, 995kg payload, 30 knots over shallows and 0.5m hover height.

Description

The Griffon 995ED is an electric-diesel hovercraft with just under 1 tonne of payload. It operates at 30 knots over shallows, beaches, weeds and debris. Twin azimuth electric drive thrust modules give tighter turning than rudders and lower noise, and if one power module becomes inactive the craft can still be operated on the remaining power pack. According to the company history, the first 995ED was delivered to the Malaysian Marine Department in 2016.
