AIR CUSHION VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC B60V1/12 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aircraft engineering, particularly, to air cushion craft with the systems for damping the altitude variations and for automatic control over the bank and pitch angles. Claimed aircraft comprises air cushion guardrail with air duct arranged along the airframe edges and divided into two isolated chambers pneumatically communicated with said guardrail. The engine is articulated with the blower communicated via air duct and throttle with the appropriate isolated chamber. The aircraft comprises the control system with vertical and angular overload transducers. Note here that said transducers are connected with the computer to generate the control signal for the throttle opening actuator in response to signals from the transducers. Said throttle opening actuator is composed of a single-stage follower drive of the "nozzle-throttle" type while the control signal incorporates the feedback circuit for aircraft angular position and speed.

EFFECT: damping the altitude variations and for automatic control over the bank and pitch angles.
