Bench for investigation of model of flexible enclosure of air-cushion craft

摘要

A bench for investigation of the model of flexible enclosure of air-cushion crafts contains an air chamber and an air pump connected by a rigid air conduit with upper tier of air chamber separated from the lower tier of air chamber by the model of flexible enclosure made from rubberized fabric bent along circular arcs of variable radius. The lower tier of air chamber is equipped with a bottom with open-end holes and both tiers are united under frame body with transparent solid walls on the perimeter. For the possibility to simulate the process of lifting the air-cushion craft under most approximating actual conditions rigid air conduit is connected by mobile air conduit with ceiling of upper tier freely located in the guiding posts of the frame body of air chamber.
