연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A flexible skirt-cell system is provided for a hovercraft having a propulsion system mounted to interface with water and a flexible skirt having an upper flexible panel section and a lower flexible finger section. The panel section extends around the bow, stern and two sides of the hovercraft hull and the finger section extends around the hull below the panel section and is connected to the panel section from a forward-abeam location and forward along the two sides and across the bow. Fans create pressurized air that is fed through air ducts to form a pressurized air cushion that supports the hovercraft. Interconnected flexible cells are connected between the panel and finger sections from the forward-abeam locations rearward to the stern. Additional air ducts pass pressurized air from the fan units to inflate the cells, thereby elevating the stern and raising the propulsion system above the water.

I claim: 1. A flexible inflatable skirt cell system for a hovercraft having a hull with a bow, stern and two sides in its periphery comprising: a flexible skirt having a flexible upper panel section and a flexible lower finger section, said upper panel section extending around said bow, stern and two sides of said hull adjacent to said periphery and said lower finger section extending around said hull below and adjacent to said upper panel section and being connected to said upper panel section from a forward-abeam location and forward along said two sides and across said bow; means for creating volumes of pressurized air having at least one first air flow duct and at least one second air flow duct, said first air flow ducts being coupled to said pressurized air volume creating means for passing portions of pressurized air under said hull inside of said flexible skirt to form a pressurized air cushion to support and transport said hull thereon; an inflatable cell system interposed between and connected to said upper panel section and said lower finger section from said forward-abeam location rearward along said sides and across said stern of said hull, said inflatable cell system having a juxtaposed series of interconnected inflatable cells coupled to said second ducts for selectively inflating said cells; and at least one propulsion system mounted on an aft portion of the hull and extending below said flexible skirt to interface with water over which the hovercraft travels. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein said inflatable cells increase in size as they are positioned further aft so that said skirt cell system raises each said propulsion system from and above said water when said inflatable cells are inflated. 3. The system of claim 2 further comprising: a first controllable vane in each said first air duct; and a second controllable vane in each said second air duct. 4. The system of claim 3 further comprising: auxiliary propulsion means on said hull to propel said hovercraft on land areas when said inflatable cells are inflated. 5. The system of claim 4 further comprising a control system coupled to each said first controllable vane to operate said first controllable vane to selectively pass portions of pressurized air to a corresponding said first air duct to create said air cushion under said hull; said control system also coupled to each said second controllable vane to operate said second controllable vane to selectively pass portions of pressurized air to at least one said second air duct to inflate said inflatable cells with additional portions of said pressurized air. 6. The system of claim 5 further comprising a vent in each said second air duct, said vent communicating with said air cushion under said hull and with said pressurized air in said inflatable cells, said vent configured to release air pressure from and deflate said inflatable cells, thereby causing each said propulsion system to lower into said water. 7. The system of claim 6 wherein said auxiliary propulsion means comprises at least one air propeller. 8. The system of claim 6 wherein said auxiliary propulsion means comprises at least one tracked crawler. 9. The system of claim 6 wherein said propulsion systems comprise waterjet propulsion systems. 10. The system of claim 6 wherein each said propulsion system comprises a propeller and propeller shaft. 11. The system of claim 6 further comprising means for releasably securing said upper panel section to said lower finger section at locations aft of said forward-abeam location. 12. The system of claim 11 wherein said means for securing comprises at least one winch coupled to one of said upper panel section and said lower finger section, and a cable 41 having one end coupled to the other one of said upper panel section and said lower finger section and another end coupled to said winch. 13. A method of raising from the water's surface at least one water propulsion unit on a hovercraft having a hull with a bow, stern, and two sides in its periphery, to permit land passage of the hovercraft, comprising the steps of: providing a flexible skirt having a flexible upper panel section and a flexible lower finger section, said upper panel section extending around said bow, stern and two sides of said hull adjacent to said periphery and said lower finger section extending around said hull below and adjacent to said upper panel section and being connected to said upper panel section from a forward-abeam location and forward along said two sides and across said bow; creating volumes of pressurized air; passing portions of said created pressurized air through first air flow ducts into an area under said hull inside of said flexible skirt to form a pressurized air cushion to support and transport said hull thereon; connecting a juxtaposed series of inflatable cells of an inflatable cell system to and between said upper panel section and said lower finger section from said forward-abeam location on said two sides rearward along said sides and across said stern of said hull; and coupling second airflow ducts to said inflatable cells; passing additional portions of pressurized air through said second air flow ducts into said inflatable cells; inflating said inflatable cells with said additional portions of pressurized air; and raising each propulsion system from the water's surface. 14. The method of claim 13 further comprising the steps of: controlling the amount of said portion passed in each first air duct with a first controllable vane in each first air duct; and controlling the amount of said additional portion passed in each second air duct with a second controllable vane in each second air duct. 15. The method of claim 14 further comprising the steps of: mounting an auxiliary propulsion means on said hovercraft; and propelling said hovercraft across land areas by said auxiliary propulsion means. 16. The method of claim 15 wherein said auxiliary propulsion means comprises air propellers. 17. The method of claim 15 wherein said auxiliary propulsion means comprises tracked crawlers. 18. The method of claim 15 further comprising the step of selectively connecting said inflatable cells so that said inflatable cells get progressively larger as they are connected from said forward-abeam locations on both of said sides rearward to said stern. 19. The method of claim 18 further comprising the step of venting said additional portions of pressurized air from said second air duct and said inflatable cells to said air cushion under said hull.
