GROUND-EFFECT VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B60V3/08 B64C29/00 

FIELD: vehicles.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to dynamic air-cushion vehicles. Ground-effect vehicle craft comprises fuselage (1) having a nose part, a tail part and a middle part located between them, keel (5) located in the fuselage tail part (1), gas turbine engine (13) with drive shaft (14) located in the middle part of the fuselage, fans (4) installed in the nose and tail parts of fuselage (1) so that they can create a fluid flow from the hole in the upper part of the fuselage in direction from fuselage to sides. Drive shaft (14) is kinematically connected to axes of fans through main reduction gear (15), continuously variable transmission device (17) and two reduction gears. Wings (2) are made in such a way that the lifting force is created by the fluid flow in the direction from the fuselage to the sides, and are connected to shafts (12) of motors (11), which are made with possibility to turn wings (2) relative to axis of shafts (12) so that in one of positions the wings are inclined forward, and in another one — backward. Fairings (3) have channels with slots (19) so that to create a fluid medium flow in the up and down direction from the fairing. On fairings (3) there are nozzles (8) made with possibility of control by pitch, yaw and roll.

EFFECT: invention is aimed at increasing carrying capacity, controllability and maneuverability.
