Development of a Integrated Air Cushioned Vehicle (Hovercraft)
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
The design and development of a hovercraft prototype with full hovercraft basic functions is reported by taking into consideration, size, material and component availability and intermediate fabrication skill. In-depth research was carried out to determine the components of a hovercraft system and their basic functions and in particular its principle of operation. Detailed research in design was done to determine the size of component parts, quite in accordance with relevant standard requirements as applicable in the air cushioned vehicles (ACV). The fabrication of the designed hovercraft by using materials that are readily available by taking into consideration the economic constraints and time constraints. It also includes the testing process which includes the tweaking of various parameters that govern lift and thrust of the hovercraft. Further research is recommended to improve on the efficiency of the craft
