Abstract
Abstract : A series of tests conducted in the vicinity of Houghton, Michigan, utilizing the SK-5 surface effect vehicle are discussed. The tests represent a continuation of an earlier study to investigate the interaction between surface effect vehicle and arctic terrain. The following tests were conducted and are reported on: evaluation of air cushion vehicle operations on railroad beds and on secondary roads; the identification of maneuver requirements as a function of vehicle characteristics; evaluation of air cushion vehicle operations on inland waterways; measurement of water speed, craft weight, and skirt drag; and analysis of dynamic response to geometric obstacles.
