ABSTRACT:
An air cushion vehicle has a flexible skirt assembly including an inflatable bag member. When inflated, the bag member is supported by a reticulated member, so that loads acting on the bag member are transferred to the reticulated member. Preferably a buffer material is interposed between the bag member and the reticulated member to prevent chafing of the bag member by the reticulated member.
