Can hovercraft run on the road?
At this time, C Claire prepared his invention sold to entrepreneurs, but were rejected. The reason is very interesting, is that it is the aircraft manufacturer ship rather than the ship. However, general manager of the British research and development company haers Pelly but discerning, foresaw the importance of hovercraft, to help C Claire get a patent. At that time, C Claire NEDC joined the company, started manufacturing a ship 9.1 meters long, 7.3 meters wide hovercraft. The hovercraft successfully crossed the English channel, to become the world's first real navigation hovercraft. It fully shows the superiority of the hovercraft.The hovercraft has two main forms: full floating and side wall. The largest passenger hovercraft in the world, to the number of UK manufacturing SRN4- III hovercraft. It is used in full floating, is propelled by air propeller (like aircraft propeller), the bottom around the ship equipped with nylon made of rubber a cloth "apron", from the bottom of high pressure air injection, support the weight of the hull in the air cushion is formed between the bottom and the surface of the water, in order to reduce the sailing resistance. The average speed of 100 kilometers per hour, a passenger capacity of 416 people, 55 cars. The fastest is the side wall type air cushion ship of the United States, 167 km per hour.
The hovercraft is a British engineer invented by C Claire.1950, the 40 year old C Claire fell in love with the shipbuilding industry. So quit the original work, with all his savings, with his wife to set up a small shipbuilding company. At this time, C Claire considered the mind is how to build boats faster. He thinks the boat the speed is not high because of friction between the bottom and the surface of the resistance. After repeated study, he found that if the air between the ship and water as a "cushion" it is possible to reduce friction, thereby improving the ship sailing speed. C Claire put the specific ideas, he ate canned coffee cans is a cat in the empty space, with a hair dryer blowing hair as power experiment. As a result, the floating effect caused by exhaust makes him very satisfied. Then he made a model ship 0.5 meters long, in The experiment in the river has been successful again. Its principle is exactly the same as that of the hovercraft nowadays
You can run on the road.Hovercraft, also called "flying boat", is a ship that uses the support of the air to lift off the water. It was immediately noticed by the world's shipbuilding industry
