A hovercraft having a stealth function comprising:
- a hull in which a cabin is provided;
- a power generator provided on the hull and configured to supply a lifting force with which the hull is lifted and a propelling force with which the hull is propelled;
- a skirt provided at a lower portion of the hull and causes the hull to be lifted by the lifting force supplied by the power generator;
- an opening/closing louver assembly made up of a plurality of opening/closing louvers on air intakes formed in an outer surface of the hull;
- and
- a steering louver assembly made up of a plurality of rudder louvers that are rotated and opened/closed on a port and a starboard of a rear of the opening/closing louver assembly on the outer surface of the hull,
- wherein at least one of the opening/closing louver assembly and the steering louver assembly is provided to have an inclined form that is mutually symmetric left and right so as to scatter incident energy of radar electromagnetic waves along with the outer surface of the hull, and to have a shape of an irregular surface.
