Hover craft Options

[CommanderSpartan]

I was thinking for some time about Lin Kuei Ominae's Kodiak.
I saw the problem of air units unable to deployed and vice versa.
I know, I tried it myself.
So I began to think, what if we could get a hovering vehicle to deploy.
I saw few problems, for one it is a land unit so I'm sure it would deploy,
it would float over water, and be able to carry units,
but I realized that hover units couldn't fly over cliffs.
Now I was wondering, if the unit was high enough would the engine allow it to fly over?
(I highly doubt this myself)
Or is there some other way, other than make it a air unit?

Any thoughts would be helpful.
