A Comparison of Computer Predictions with Scaled Model Drag for an Air Cushion Vehicle Model at High Cushion Loadings.

Abstract

Using a 3 by 6 foot model, a series of tests were conducted to investigate the high speed operation, in terms of vehicle performance (DRAG) and ride quality (MOTIONS) of ACV designs with high cushion loading. The scope of this document is limited to an analysis of the drag results only. (Author)
