The Overland Vertical Plane Dynamic Response of the AALC JEFF (B) AVC; Model Experiments,

Abstract

The overland dynamic behavior of an air-cushion-supported vehicle is investigated. Experiments have been performed by running the craft over repeated rigid wave forms and allowing it to pitch and heave. Transfer functions relating response variables to the excitation variables are presented. The linearity of the vertical plane dynamics is investigated through a comparison of the response for two different wave heights. Variations in fan speed and fan discharge are also examined. The cobblestone effect, created by exciting the craft at a very high frequency, is investigated. (Author)
