ABSTRACT:
An air-cushion vehicle is provided with an intermediate plenum which provides air to the air-cushion cavity. Propulsion and steering is effected by means of two parallel double-ended ducts that are supplied air from the plenum. Complementary controlled flaps in the ends of the ducts allow the vehicle to be controlled, both for linear motion and for steering, through a two channel radio-control system.
