Type 43 Aviation Scout

Hovercraft also referred to as Hover(s) on holograms are aerial vehicles that are introduced and utilized in the 2017 Godzilla film, Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters.

Appearance
Hovercraft look much akin to modern day snowmobiles in terms of build, featuring white plated armor, and multiple thrusters mounted on the craft's bottom and nose, enabling 360 degrees of hover capabilities. This vehicle also possesses a windshield which doesn't cover the user's face, presumably for the sake of aerodynamic design.

Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters
Hovercrafts had a brief role in Planet of the Monsters, being used by Haruo Sakaki against Godzilla Filius in order to determine its shield generating organ. This would fail, but Eliott Leland would come in to assist Haruo, at the cost of his own life.

Later, hovercrafts would be used in the diversionary fight against Filius, with multiple squads of the vehicles rotating in groups, firing and later escaping from the monster's retaliatory attacks. Rilu-elu Belu-be and Adam Bindewald led two squads in the fight, and multiple hovercraft would be lost in this conflict.

A Servum attack would slow the fight down, with more of the vehicles going down due to the Servum's speed, and maneuverability, although, this intervention would end shortly after.

In the ending moments of the film, as Godzilla Earth awoke after 20,000 years of dormancy, Yuko Tani, Adam Bindewald and Belu-be would use their hovercraft to escape the titan's subsequent wrath.

Enhanced mobility
Multiple mounted thrusters on the hovercraft enable 360 degrees worth of hovering capabilities, allowing for versatility in flight and airborne combat. This was seen with a hovercraft pitted against a Servum, as a hovercraft pilot was able to come to a dead stop in the air, and pivot like a turret to attempt to shoot down the attacking monster.

Mounted weapons
The hovercraft lacked any heavy weapons, but did possess an automatic cannon on its nose. Haruo Sakaki used these against Filius, and they proved ineffective against the monster's hide, not even raising its shield. Later, these cannons would be used against Godzilla as well to just provoke the monster into moving after human and Bilusaludo forces.

These cannons were effective against Servum, however, being able to take the monsters down with some sustained fire.
