Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

I am creating a hovercraft for my Science and Engineering Expo. My target audience is 5th graders. I am wondering for your design what is the weight limit?.

Hi,

The Science Buddies hovercraft project is described here:

The weight that the hovercraft can support depends on the air pressure underneath. This design uses a leaf blower to generate the air pressure. A more powerful blower will generate more pressure and accommodate a heavier rider.

I hope this helps. Please ask again if you have more questions.
