Abstract

A gas-cushion vehicle has means (20 or 20a) for reducing dynamic variations in cushion gas pressure. The means comprise a gas-flow outlet connection between a space (3a) occupied by cushion gas and the atmosphere, and flexible wall member (10) of inflatable form disposed within the connection and operable to allow cushion gas to escape as cushion pressure tends to increase, and to impede such escape as cushion pressure tends to decrease. The flexible wall member (10) provides a barrier maintaining a pressure differential between the cushion space and the atmosphere. Dynamic variations in cushion pressure will alter this pressure differential and the resistance to the escape of cushion gas offered by the wall member will then alter accordingly. Pressure in wall member (10) may be automatically controlled according to cushion pressure, pitch/ heave acceleration, etc. <IMAGE>
