7. BHC SR-N4 Mk-3: World ' s Largest Non-military Hovercraft
This mammoth machine is the world ' s largest hover to date. BHC SR-N4, as shown above, is the world ' s largest non-
military hovercraft, carrying 418 passengers and 60 cars. A hovercraft, or air-cushion vehicle (ACV), is a craft, designed
to travel over any smooth surface supported by a cushion of slowly moving, high-pressure air, ejected downwards against
the surface below, and contained within a "skirt." Hovercrafts are used throughout the world because they are unique
among all forms of transportation in their ability to travel equally well over land, ice, and water.

8. Typhoon: World ' s Largest Submarine Class Ever Built
This machine is the largest submarine class in the world ever built. It is a ballistic missile carrying, nuclear-powered
submarine (SSBN). This large machine was deployed by the Soviet navy in the 1980s. With a maximum displacement
of 26,000 tons, Typhoons are the largest class of submarine ever built. In its day it was one of the most feared weapons
of mass destruction ever made. Technically, it is capable to successfully deploy long-range nuclear weapons. The cost
of operations for the Typhoon submarines was so high that the Russian Navy retired all but one of them.
