An air cushion vehicle (1) includes a substantially rigid hull structure (2) and an air cushion skirt (6). The air cushion skirt (6) extends substantially about the periphery of the hull structure (2) and is attached to the hull structure (2) at or towards the periphery (14) of the hull structure (2). Part of the air cushion skirt (6) comprises an inflatable bag portion (7). The air cushion vehicle (1) also includes an air supply means to provide a source of pressurised air to inflate the air cushion skirt (33) apart from the inflatable bag portion (7). Instead, the inflatable bag portion (7) is sealed such as to maintain an inflated configuration on inflation thereof, independently of the operation of the air supply means. |
