Abstract: A hovering air fort containing an inflatable housing having an open base defined by a periphery surrounding the opening, one or more apertures, wherein one of the apertures is for receiving air flow for inflation and wherein the other aperture is for connecting a second hovering air fort and a cord hemmed into the periphery of the open base forming a hemmed opening or at least one connecting panel is affixed to at least two side walls about the open base periphery of the inflatable air fort, wherein the air flow through the aperture provides structure and lift for the inflatable housing when the periphery of the open base is positioned against an external surface to create the hovering air fort.

Abstract: A hovering air fort containing an inflatable housing having an open base defined by a periphery surrounding the opening, an aperture tor receiving air flow for inflation and at least one connecting panel affixed to at least two of the inflatable housing side walls about the open base periphery that does not cover a majority of the open base and wherein the air flow through the aperture provides structure and lift tor the inflatable housing when the open base is positioned over an external surface to create the hovering air fort.

Abstract: The present invention is a hovering air fort. The hovering air fort contains an inflatable housing having an open base defined by a periphery surrounding the opening and an aperture for receiving air flow for inflation and a chord hemmed into the periphery of the open base forming a hemmed opening, wherein the air flow through the aperture provides structure and lift for the inflatable housing when the hemmed opening is positioned against an external surface to create the hovering air fort.

Abstract: The present invention is a hovering air fort. The hovering air fort contains an inflatable housing having an open base defined by a periphery surrounding the opening and an aperture for receiving air flow for inflation and a chord hemmed into the periphery of the open base forming a hemmed opening, or one or more connecting panels affixed between the sidewalls but maintaining the base of the inflatable air fort open, such that air flow through the aperture provides structure and lift for the inflatable housing when the hemmed opening or the one or more connecting panels are positioned against an external surface to create the hovering air fort.

Abstract: A hovering air fort containing a circular side panel having an aperture, a domed top, a shroud having a first end secured to the circular side panel to provide an air flow channel for forcing air through the aperture and a second end for receiving a fan; and a single chord secured at the bottom edge of the circular side panel. The chord may be secured along about 75% to 100% of the bottom edge of the circular side panel and has a weight that allows the bottom edge to be lifted above the surface when the fan forces air into the hovering air fort.
