Just think of the military applications for this,
What a cracking idea and so simple.
Its been done many times before - Google 'hovercraft with wings'
I'd imagine the skirt would flap terribly in the airstream...
Editted to add: keesje - they're ground-effect vehicles. Different to hovercrafts. Great for target practice, being slow and not very maneouvrable.

This just looks like a smaller configuration of an ekranoplan (excuse spelling), if memory serves the Soviets developed BFO massive versions for logistic and assault applications.
