Abstract

1,184,062. Air cushion vehicles. HOVERMARINE Ltd. 7 March, 1967 [14 March, 1966; 10 Feb., 1967], Nos. 11102/66 and 6525/67. Heading B7K. An air cushion vehicle comprises a pair of laterally spaced body structures 40 adapted to carry payload and to contain cushion air lengthwise of the vehicle, body spacing means 42 extending between the body structures and sheeting 56 covering the cushion air space between the body structures so as to form a membraneous barrier between said space and the atmosphere above. The spacing means 42 comprise hollow struts which form gangways between the structures 40 and provide access to a central cabin 43, shown in Fig. 9 only, the structures 40 being loaded through hinged stern pieces 45. Flexible skirts such as 47 extend between the structures 40 to enclose the cushion space. The craft is propelled by ducted propellers acting as jet units or by air propellers and lateral air or water thrusters 62 or 63 may be provided to give lateral control. The cushion 61 is supplied by fans 51 drawing air through intakes 60 and same air may be discharged as at 58 to form an air curtain beneath the skirt. In a further embodiment (Fig. 5, not shown) a vertically movable load carrying platform is housed within the cushion space.
