Forward Speed Effects on Annular Jet Cushions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 August 2017
Summary
Simple two-dimensional theory is extended to the case of a hovercraft having forward speed. It is shown that in general the effect of forward speed on lower surface lift is adverse but that the static pressure in the region of the rear jet has an important influence and if this pressure is low and hit is also low some reduction in lift power is achieved.
