Sea "airplane"! With 5 jet-powered air cushion landing craft, it can carry 99A tanks to the island
The United States has become more and more scrupulous about our country, and constantly tries to stir up strife in the Asia-Pacific region or stir up trouble over our cross-strait unification. Despite the many troubles caused by the US moves, they have not shaken our determination to complete the reunification of our motherland, and for a long time our country has been working silently to prepare for the challenges that may come our way.
For example, the Bison and Mustang hovercraft landing crafts, which can be regarded as the most powerful tools for capturing islands, use a large number of aviation technologies and equipment, and can be regarded as a product of the combination of aviation and marine technologies, equivalent to the sea "airplane". This kind of cross-border product has a huge advantage, can provide more tactical options for our army, so that the army can be more flexible when carrying out related tasks. Not only that, we also have five jet-powered air cushion landing craft, can carry 99A tanks to the island, the future once the battle for the island, will be able to quickly grasp the initiative.
Whether it is the Bison class or Mustang class hovercraft, its powerful thrust relies on are huge propellers, equipped with the engine are turbofan engine variants of gas turbines. Due to the special characteristics of the hovercraft, its no matter equipped with the engine and propulsion, or steering system, are closer to the aircraft, so it is not the usual meaning of the ordinary ship. Generally speaking, hovercraft suspended above the surface of the water, not only is equivalent to an "airplane", but also "vertical take-off and landing aircraft", but its entire vehicle, is lifted with a cushion of air. Many people are curious, bison level hovercraft in the end how many engines, some experts pointed out that there should be 5 turboprop engines, ordinary hovercraft speed can break through 40 knots, bison level should be able to break through 60 knots.
The hovercraft lifts its hull out of the water by means of an air cushion, which can greatly reduce the resistance of the water and give it an advantage in speed. But want to its huge hull and above a large number of equipment with air cushion lift, is not an easy thing, need a huge amount of inflatable to do, and must be a strong engine to meet the inflatable demand.
So the Bison class hovercraft need to specialize in two turboprop engines, to provide power to the cushion fan, so that you can protect more than 400 tons of the hull and a large number of equipment and goods, stable suspension above the water. And the hovercraft cushion lift state is not fixed, it can be adjusted according to different needs and working conditions, such as its standby period, the cushion inflatable almost only 30% on the line, do not need to be so high charge, which can save fuel, but also able to reduce the burden on the engine.
It can be said that the hovercraft is like an obese "airplane" floating in the sea, and even its direction control are similar to the aircraft, mainly relying on the air rudder to provide deflection force. Because in general, the hovercraft need to beach landing, so the bottom of the ship must be as flat as possible, installing the rudder is certainly not possible, and then can only turn to rely on the propeller behind a few rudder adjustment. Hovercraft also has a characteristic, that is, and many turboprop aircraft, it is also equipped with reverse propeller reversing system, and because it often need to reverse steering in and out of the warehouse, so more dependent on the propeller's reversal thrust, which is more similar to some of the aircraft's counterpropulsion system. As you can see from the name hovercraft, although it belongs to the category of boats, many of its designs deal primarily with air rather than sea water. To the hovercraft such amphibious, or even amphibious multi-purpose general-purpose equipment, can be said to be technology cross-border integration, will not only bring extraordinary performance leap, the development of the future is also unlimited.
