摘要： The present invention concerns a marine vehicle that derives its lift and control forces and moments from a combination of the following mechanisms; aerodynamic effects on a lifting surface in ground effect, hydrodynamic effects on submerged hydrofoils, planing forces on deployed winglets, and hydrostatic effects on submerged elements. The portion of the overall lift and control forces that is contributed by each mechanism varies as a function of vessel speed. The hydrofoils may be subcavitating, supercavitating, transcavitating or superventilated. The three lift and control mechanisms are individually found on existing Wing-In-Ground Effect (WIG) vehicles, hydrofoil vessels, and multi-hull vessels but have not previously been combined in the manner described. The present invention combines these three elements to achieve high lift-to-drag ratios, low fuel consumption, good maneuverability, low noise, low vessel draft, low vessel motions, and operation in higher sea states at all relative headings to the wind and waves. Applications of this craft include both civilian and military uses.

摘要： A “wing in ground effect” aerial vehicle includes a wing mounted on a fuselage, and two cycloidal propulsion units for providing lift, thrust and longitudinal control. Additional lift is provided by a lighter-than-air gas such as helium contained in the fuselage. Operationally, the two cycloidal propulsion units and the volume of lighter-than-air gas are concertedly regulated to achieve “wing in ground effect” flight. Importantly, the two cycloidal propulsion units may operate in one of several modes, to include a curtate mode, a prolate mode, and a fixed-wing mode. Additionally, the vehicle may hover. Also, a thruster unit is mounted on the fuselage for providing forward thrust in combination with, or in lieu of, the two cycloidal propulsion units.

摘要： A ground effect vehicle apparatus comprising a vehicle body of integral and contiguous construction including a medial portion having an aerodynamic upper surface, and a pair of spaced apart laterally positioned portions separated by the medial portion. Lower extremities of the laterally positioned portions extend downwardly below the medial portion to restrain air flow between them as it moves toward the rear of the body. Forward extremities of the laterally positioned portions extend forward of the medial portion to, again, restrain air flow from moving laterally. Power plants are mounted within the medial portion and support aircraft type propellers positioned forward of the medial portion of the body. The propellers are mechanized for moving over an arcuate vertical range, such that their force vectors are directable between the horizontal and approximately 45 degrees above the horizontal. In this manner, the propeller forces ram air below and to the rear of the medial portion of the vehicle body thereby developing cushion effect lift and forward thrust.

摘要： A hull configuration for a vessel that utilizes multiple effects to reduce friction between the vessel and the water's surface is provided by the present invention. In various embodiments, a surface effect is employed such that a supporting cushion of air is provided underneath the hull to substantially isolate portions of the hull from coming into contact with the water's surface. A blower is used to provide pressurized air to the air cushions. The inlet of the blower is positioned in the direction of the vessel's movement such that a ram air effect decreases the power required by the blower. An amount of thrust is also generated by the forward placement of the blower inlet. The vessel has a superstructure that is shaped to create a low pressure zone above the vessel. This low pressure zone creates a lifting body effect such that the friction between the hull and the water's surface is reduced. Boost ports induce a venturi effect by providing a high pressure air flow at the water air boundary of the air cushion. Thus, the boost ports decrease the time required to re-establish an operating pressure in the air cushions after a venting has occurred. The above discussed aspects of the invention result in enhanced speed, range and efficiency for the vessel. Thus, the present invention has particular applicability to fast ferries, military patrol craft and landing crafts.

摘要： A variable sweep winglet with a negative dihedral angle is provided for a ground effect vehicle. The winglet is positionable at a sweep angle to control the winglet tip clearance from ground. Variable winglet tip clearance reduces the risk of damage or instability due to collision with the ground or water, thereby permitting more efficient flight at lower altitude with an equivalent safety. The winglet is generally positioned by an actuator. The actuator is controlled by a flight control system, or by other manual or automatic systems. A sensor may also be included for determining whether an object lies in the path of the winglet. The sensor communicates with the flight control system in order to vary the sweep of the winglet to increase clearance from the ground or water, thus avoiding impact with the object.
