Christy 9204 FCW Duct

Available exterior colors of the hovercraft

                                                 

The Christy 9204 FC hovercraft with a three-tier flexible skirt with an additional constant pressure cylinder integrated around the entire perimeter, providing additional buoyancy and compensating for impact loads in harsh hydrometeorological and navigating conditions.
Previously, such a scheme was used exclusively on military hovercrafts.

The main advantages of the Christy 9204 FC model:

• - Extended 450-500 mm cab
• - A profiled annular nozzle with a six bladed reversing screw to reduce noise and additional protection, which provides reversing and braking.
• - Flap fiberglass side crinolines with anti-slip coating.
• - Flexible three-tiered skirt. The upper tier sectional cylinder of constant pressure around the perimeter of the vessel with a diameter of 600mm provides even greater stability on the water with the engines turned off and additional safety in case of unexpected collisions with obstacles and while driving along mountain rivers.
• - Increased cushion area and accordingly increased vessel capacity by 200-250kg.
• - Propeller units are claded with a single hood of a new design, which provides better protection of power units and transmissions from weathering.
• - The hood increases noise insulation, accordingly, the hovercraft makes lower noise level when driving.
• - Noise insulation is also facilitated by a profiled ring head and a six-blade propeller operating at lower revs than the one of Christy 9205 FC model.
• - An installed transverse segmented keel which ensures greater stability of the vessel in the entire speed range with a variable gravity center.
• - Steering surfaces of increased area allow the hovercrafts to be more maneuverable and improve handling.
• - Increased ground clearance up to 500 mm.
• - Additional lockers of larger volume inside the cabin.
• - More attractive design and ergonomics.
• - Upgraded ventilation system.

Standard production time is 12-16 weeks.
Individual production terms are negotiated additionally.
Delivery is usually either in a tent wagon or in a 40ft container.

The Christy 9204 FC hovercraft can be used for rescue services, geological exploration, military service, freight and passenger traffic, border guard services.
