Just like the hovercraft on the cover, it has a finger skirt like Zuma’s from Paw Patrol.

Some have two propellers, and others have one. I think having one looks silly. Zuma has two propellers.

I really like the picture with the rescue hovercraft. It is orange, has two propellers, and a finger skirt—all like Zuma’s.

It’s cool that a hovercraft can have a safety cord on smaller models so the engine stops if the driver falls off.

Propellers are protected inside large screens. This keeps out things like flying squirrels!

Some hovercraft are huge, and some are small.
