dc.description.abstract | <p> Air-cushion vehicles (ACV) are defined as surface vehicles that utilize air pressure for partial-or total support over the operational surface. An outline of the history of the five widely known ACV concepts and an analysis of the mode of operation of each is given, with their advantages and disadvantages.</p> <p> A sixth type, called the thrust-cushion vehicle (TCV), is a promising but unknown concept which, as yet, has not received much study or recognition. A preliminary theoretical analysis for design purposes is made, and the test results of a static model and a model running on a radial tether are given to establish a research and design basis for future work.</p> | en_US |
