The Tuppercraft

Working on the Tuppercraft

The Tuppercraft is a project based at Shenfield High School, Essex, where a small team of students, ranging from Year 8 to Sixth Form, are building a fully functioning racing hovercraft.

The hovercraft first lifted off the ground on the 22nd of May 2008, and went on to make its first actual flight on the 11th of June 2008. This is the culmination of nearly 2 years hard work by the team members, and it's not stopping there! With much work still to be done, and another hovercraft shell waiting in the wings to be started on, the team have a lot more work on their hands!
