Design Features

Hull construction hovercraftThe housing is completely made of composite materials.Individual elements in the form of sandwich panels made of fiberglass and polyurethane foam with an outer finishing layer to ensure 100% positive buoyancy. Not subject to corrosion and icing. Are easy to repair.
Type flexible skirt (skirt)Bunk (upper tier - inflated balloon is tapered from front to back of the higher sections of the front for improved wave, the lower tier - independent segments). All segments are independent and are easily replaced in the field.
The structure of the skirtCylinder and the segments are made of nylon impregnated with urethane. The segments are attached to the cylinder nuts and bolts polyamide.
BuoyancyBottom based on sandwich panels of polyurethane foam and fiberglass provides 100% buoyancy. Even if the interior completely fill with water, hovercraft will remain afloat.
CabinStandard 6 spot enclosed cab or modification in whole or in part open cockpit. Windshield - Triple×
