ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Aerosledge

An aerosledge is like a magic carpet that can float on the ground. But instead of using magic, it uses air to lift itself up.

You know how it feels like you're flying when you hold a paper airplane out the car window? That's because the air is pushing up on the wings and making the airplane float.

Aerosledges work the same way! They have a special fan that blows air down onto the ground, which creates a cushion of air that the aerosledge can ride on. It's like you're blowing across the top of a straw - the air goes underneath the straw and pushes it up!

Aerosledges can go really fast and travel over all sorts of terrain, like snowy fields or wetlands. And the best part? They don't damage the environment because they don't have wheels that can crush plants or leave tracks in the ground.

So next time you see an aerosledge, imagine riding on a magic carpet that's powered by air!
