Abstract

A stern seal for air cushion supported marine vessels consists of an array of inflatable, vertical inverted open-ended fingers 22. These fingers 22 are individually attached, to depend in side-by-side relation from the bottom of an inflatable bag 16 extending transversely across the bottom of the stern 36 of the vessel's hull 12. The leading panels 28 of the fingers 22 are stiffened toward their bottom ends, and are extended under the open bottoms of the fingers beyond their trailing panel portions. Thus, the extended portions normally close off the bottom of each finger in the manner of a flap valve 30, preventing water or other terrain material from entering the bottom of the finger. The fingers 22 are preferably tapered in rear view at their bottom ends so as to provide for each finger an improved stability when the ship is operating over a terrain surface which intermittently "falls away" from the bottoms of the fingers. <IMAGE>
