ABSTRACT:
A sidewall gas-cushion vehicle is provided with a panel movable in the bottom of the vehicle body in response to changes in cushion pressure whereby the cushion volume is increased as cushion pressure tends to increase, and vice-versa. Panel movement is controllable so as to vary the degree of response to changes in cushion pressure, and upward movement of the panel is retarded by dash-pot devices.
