METHOD TO INCREASE THRUST OF WHATEVER HOVERCRAFT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B60V1/14 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used for amphibious cross-country hovercraft and aeroplanes. Method to increase thrust for air-cushion vessels. Vessel comprises hull with stiff air-cushion guard rail including side skegs, front and rear flexible elements and with rigid boards, engine, propulsion and blower units with the drivers composed of push propellers in ring adapter, control system, inflatable board secured at hull rigid boards in vessel perimeter. To the thrust, upper hollow circular pipe with orifices aligned in circular adapter is additionally fitted in circular adapter perimeter. Orifices are communicated with injected medium nozzles. Micro disperse fluid is forced to the zone of propeller in direction of exhaust airflow. Upper pipe is connected by high-abrasion-resistance flexible pipe with injected fluid source, fluid being injected in response to control board instructions. Note here that a fog cloud curtain is formed behind the propulsor, curtain density exceeding that of air.

EFFECT: simplified design, higher thrust.
