AIR-CUSHION APPARATUS WITH EXTRA AERODYNAMIC SUPPORT OF HULL

摘要

FIELD: transport.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to air-cushion vehicles and pertains to creation of extra dynamic support for their hulls. Proposed apparatus has hull, operator cab, central AIR intake with guide vanes to houses axial air blower, receiver with skin, double annular channel communicated with receiver, engine coupled via disengaging clutch with axial air blower, front and rear propulsors of horizontal motion, front and rear vertical jets communicated with receiver, wheeled landing gear, and control mechanisms. Aerodynamic platform is secured on vertical struts, atop and at a distance from said hull, made up of two rectangular plates made from light and strong material, overlapped and bolted together. Square cells are made on top plate upper surface and arranged in lengthwise and crosswise directions. Each said cell represents bell-like recess with two opposite vertical surfaces between which arranged are two opposite surfaces inclined inward at an angle to each other and furnished with through vertical slot-like channel with depth equal to that of cell and plate attached atop it at a distance therefrom. Lengthwise channels are made on bottom plate top surface intercommunicated by webs and communicated with top plate cell vertical slot-like channels. Outlets of aforesaid channels are communicated with central outlet of bottom plate communicated, in its turn, with central air intake. Apparatus spatial control mechanisms are articulated with front and rear vertical jets. Apparatus motion control mechanisms are coupled with horizontal motion propulsor shutters. Deck for freight container is arranged atop top rectangular plate. On aforesaid struts. Flexible guard is secured to bottom rectangular plate.;EFFECT: higher lift and capacity and flotation ability.;24 dwg
