GEMINI ONE-TON AMPHIBIOUS OFF-HIGHWAY AIRTRANSPORTABLE VEHICLE, CONTINUATION OF PHASE 1 PROGRAM
Abstract
The report presents the further results of testing a full-scale mock- up chassis representative of a 1-ton, amphibious, off-highway, air-transportable vehicle which utilizes air cushion principles to permit mobility in low-bearing terrain. The test vehicle was modified and subjected to tests in water. A skirt was fitted and the vehicle was tested in prepared clay beds of low cone index and on a level, hard surface. Noise level tests were also carried out. Further work to improve directional control and speed in water and to improve skirt structure is recommended to attain optimum performance.
