The airboat is propelled by a column of air generated by a propeller, with wind speed generated up to 150 miles per hour (241 km/h). Rudders attached to a control stick divert the air to steer. Airboats generally travel at speeds of around 35 miles per hour (30 kn; 55 km/h); modified craft can reach 135 miles per hour (115 kn; 215 km/h).
The Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) is a class of air-cushioned landing craft used by the United States Navy and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). They transport weapons systems, equipment, cargo and personnel from ship to shore and across the beach.
His design included the modern features of a lift engine blowing air into a flexible envelope for lift. Kaario's efforts were followed closely in the Soviet Union by Vladimir Levkov, who returned to the solid-sided design of the Versuchsgleitboot. Levkov designed and built a number of similar craft during the 1930s, and his L-5 fast-attack boat ...
An air winch, sometimes known as an air hoist or air tugger, is an air-powered version of a winch. It is commonly used for the lifting and the suspension of materials. In the oil and gas, construction , and maritime industries, air winches are frequently preferred to electric, diesel, and hydraulic winches because of their durability ...
In aeronautics, a spoiler (sometimes called a lift spoiler or lift dumper) is a device which intentionally reduces the lift component of an airfoil in a controlled way. Most often, spoilers are plates on the top surface of a wing that can be extended upward into the airflow to spoil the streamline flow.
A cleaver is a type of propeller design especially used for boat racing. Its leading edge is formed round, while the trailing edge is cut straight. It provides little bow lift, so that it can be used on boats that do not need much bow lift, for instance hydroplanes, that naturally have enough
