ABSTRACT:
An air-cushioned vehicle wherein the air pressure differential between the plenum chamber and the atmosphere is used to charge a jet engine; thus allowing the use of pulse-jet or ram-jet power plants which require precharging and improving the performance of other engines.
The system is implemented by either ducting the pressurized air from the plenum chamber into the engine intake, or by installing the engine inside the plenum chamber itself.
