A light air-cushion vehicle has a thrust reverser bucket arranged at an output end of an air nozzle, at least one direction rudder having control surfaces at the output end of the air nozzle and at least one direction rudder having control surfaces in a lift contour, a control system for the thrust reverser bucket and a control system for the direction rudders. The direction rudders are kinematically connected to each other and to a steering device. The control surfaces at the output end of the air nozzle turn around an axis in the vertical direction and the control surfaces in the lift contour turn around an axis in the longitudinal direction axis.
