Brittian uses hovercrafts as a ferry on a daily basis. They have for years.
The military have used hovercrafts for decades.
There are personal hovercrafts you can buy on the internet and you can even buy the plans and make your own.

Hovercrafts have been in use since over 40 years. Britain has been regularly using them commercially as ferries and the armed forces in several countries have been operating these over the past many years. These are aslo currently available in smaller sizes for individual users. In view of the foregoing, your question is really out of context.

Very likely....seeing as the first true hovercraft was built in the late 1950s, and they've been in production ever since.

Yahoo just had an article aout it on the main page recently. A company is making them in California and plans on selling 250 a year for $90,000 each. It flies 10 feet off the ground, low enough that you don't need a pilots liscense.

As a matter of technology it is not a problem. If you mean from the stand point of us flying around in them like cars, No way!!.
The air traffic control is a mess as it is today, I could not imagine the chaos of hovering aircraft all over the place. Not with our present technology and capabilities.

A 'flying saucer' was recently created in England. Hovers 10 ft above the ground, $50,000, available next year.

There are hovercrafts now. They're pretty much useless, because they don't resist going sideways at all. None. You can't steer one.

I really doubt it. We can't control the vechiles now. It would really make things crazy, bumper cars at 50 ft. Sounds way too dangerous to me.
