Why hovercraft are not more common?
Hovercraft are becoming more common, and as technology improves, they have become quieter and more affordable. Hovercraft are very useful for rescuing people from floods, mud, ice and sand - as global warming increases the risk of flooding, as witnessed in Pakistan and China, hovercraft can play a very important role. Leisure hovercraft are now available, see the related link below, and small patrol hovercraft can play an important role in homeland security, particularly for patrolling coastal areas. Small race hovercraft have very thin lightweight hulls, but with the introduction of other materials such as HDPE, hovercraft can be lightweight and durable. I THINK THEY ARE NOT MORE COMMON BECAUSE THERES NOT THAT DEFINITE CONTROL OF THEM THEY DONT STOP FAST LIKE A CAR They have their place in difficult terrain, but they are really not fuel efficient. So, they are not typically used outside of those special circumstances

What is the diffirence maglev train and the hovercraft?
A "maglev" or "magnetic levitation" train is suspended over the magnetically polarized rail. A hovercraft is more like a low-flying helicopter, using fans to blow air down underneath the vehicle. A hovercraft is sometimes known as a "ground effect vehicle", because it compresses air between the ground and the hovercraft. Hovercraft do not require tracks, and are equally able to "fly" over land and water.
What boat travels over water on a cushion of air?
That would be a hovercraft. However, hovercraft are not really boats and can travel on both land and water.
How does hovercraft float?
There are fans in the hovercraft that direct air downwards. The air is 'trapped' by the flexible skirt around the edge of the craft - this creates a cushion of air strong enough to allow the craft to float.
