The Overland Gully, Ramp and Step Response of the AALC JEFF (A) ACV, Model Experiments.

Abstract

A series of experiments was performed to evaluate the overland behavior of the Amphibious Assault Landing Craft Program Air Cushion Vehicle designated as the JEFF(A). The experiments consisted of free passages of the craft over a series of gullies, ramps, and steps and allowing the vehicle to pitch and heave. The resultant pitch and heave response functions are presented graphically. (Author)
