Bibliography of the Air Cushion Vehicle Technology, with a Guide for Design and Analytic Engineers

Abstract

The field of air cushion vehicle technology has potential for growth. It is hoped that this bibliography will be an aid to theoretical and experimental efforts which are aimed at solving the outstanding problems. The collection contains approximately 1250 references of a wide range of theoretical and experimental investigations. Because of the present lack of suitable textbooks in the field, it can serve as a guide for design and analytic engineers. The list of entries is extensive, but there is no claim that it is complete. Included is a small amount of related work on hydrofoil and submarine research for supplemental information. An effort has been made to present accurate information and to keep the presentation uniform whenever possible. The author would like to express his sincere thanks to Mr. Charles Cassil for supervising the research and preparation of the bibliography. The author is also grateful for the assistance of Messrs. Jacob Abogye and Gemuh Akuchu, who contributed significantly in presenting accurate information.
