A Review on the Aviation Piston Engine Power Assembly for the Air Cushion Boat,

Abstract

The aviation piston engine has a suitable power rating. The weight of the air cushion boat developed early was rather small, mostly ranging from 2-4 tons. The power rating of the air cushion boat is about 100-135 horsepower/ton. According to this, a single engine's power rating ranges from 200-500 horsepower. It is well known that this is exactly the most common power rating of an aviation piston engine (and an air-cooled diesel engine).
