ABSTRACT:
An air cushion vehicle has a plurality of webs extending out between adjacent skirt members, with a solid or tubular peripheral member attached to the web members at their forward parts. The web members and the peripheral member guard the skirt against damage by debris, such as ice. The webs tend to ride up over an ice edge, while ice floes or similar objects are deflected by the peripheral member. The peripheral member can be in the form of a blade to cut off humps of ice on the top of an ice sheet or floe.
