Abstract

925,425. Air cushion vehicles. WESTLAND AIRCRAFT Ltd. Sept. 20, 1961 [Sept. 20, 1960], No. 32207/60. Class 4. An air cushion vehicle provided with a peripheral jet nozzle has an annular flexible skirt or barrier 9 positioned between the cushion area 10 and the inner edge of the peripheral nozzle 6. This may be constructed as an inflatable member 14, Fig. 5, to provide buoyancy on water or a shock absorber when landing or resting on ground and a further non-inflatable flexible skirt 15 may form a continuation of the outer wall of the nozzle 6. The skirt shown in Fig. 2 comprises two annular walls connected by a plurality of circumferentially-spaced radial diaphragms. Cavities at each side of the skirt may house it when collapsed.
