ABSTRACT:
The transport facility with dynamic air cushion, which has a hull, a wing with flaps, and a tail empennage. A power system turns propellers connected with a transmission. The propellers are installed in front of the wing. Pneumatic cylinders are located at the ends of the wings parallel to the fore-and-aft axis of the transport facility. The engine is installed inside the hull and the propellers, used for a power-augmented ram technique, are driven by the transmission system connected to the engine. Turning pylons connected to the propeller bosses change the propellers rotation plane within the angle (.alpha.=0.degree.-80.degree.). The pylons are installed on the hull. The tail empennage consists of two fins and a stabilizer installed on the fins. A retractable elastic pneumatic ski is installed at the lower bow surface of the hull. The lower surface of the ski, in a release position, is located below the lower surface of the side pneumatic cylinders. In a retracted position the pneumatic ski shell is retained close against the hull. A propeller guard is installed in the bow part and connects the bow ends of the hull and the wing pylons. Shock-mounted wheel supports that can be retracted into recesses on the lower surface of the wings are installed on the right and left sides next to the mass center under the wings.
