DISTINCTIONS AND PROBLEMS OF DESIGN OF SEAGOING VEHICLES OF AIR-SUPPORT CRAWLER TYPE

There the study objects are the universal amphibian seagoing vehicles with the ecological action on the ground. The expediency of creation of universal seagoing all-purpose vehicles has been substantiated for the first time; the scheme of amphibian supporting-propulsive device has been developed; the design problems of air-support caterpillars have been solved; on this basis the appearance and the points of dimensional series, which were checked by experiment and by the solution of non-linear problems of statics and dynamics, have been developed. The appearance, the makes and the main characteristics of dimensional series of universal all-purpose vehicles with the high seaworthiness in the surf zone, with the cross-country capability on the broken and pak ice, which are reliable on the high dip during the ecological action on the tundra ground. The recommendations top design, the algorithms, the characteristics of dimensional series, the developed external and internal lay-outs of all-purpose vehicles have been introducedAvailable from VNTIC / VNTIC - Scientific & Technical Information Centre of RussiaSIGLERURussian Federatio
