The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Hovercraft use blowers to produce a large volume of air below the hull, or air cushion, that is slightly above atmospheric pressure.
- The pressure difference between the higher-pressure air below the hull and lower pressure ambient air above it produces lift, which causes the hull to float above the running surface.
- For stability reasons, the air is typically blown through slots or holes around the outside of a disk- or oval-shaped platform, giving most hovercraft a characteristic rounded-rectangle shape.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hovercraft article was read about 150,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 82: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
