An air cushion vehicle is an exceptional sort of vehicle that proceeds onward a pad of air. The lifting movement is controlled by a fan or fans so that an air crevice can be framed. Such partition between the base of the air cushion vehicle and the ground gives a movement stage, on which the rubbing power between the air cushion vehicle and the ground diminishes to a little sum.

 

Since an air cushion vehicle does not have wheels, the forward movement is made through the driving activity, which is created by the utilization of an impetus fan and/or an arrangement of fans. These impelling fans send let some circulation into of the back of the air cushion vehicle to deliver a push power, which advances the air cushion vehicle. The accompanying two pictures are from a site outlining the utilization of air cushion vehicle as a vehicle to achieve a mission of exchanging military vehicles over the water to a desert zone.

 

Hovercrafts work on the two main principles of lift and propulsion. Lift is an important factor because it is that which allows the craft to ride on a cushion of air. This process begins by directing airflow under the craft. In order to accumulate the air under the air cushion, a skirt is required. A fan is used to move the air for propulsion. Hovercrafts have minimal contact with the ground.

 

The common skirt is known as a bag skirt. The skirt that we have is used is made up of polythene. It covers the bottom of the base and has holes in it to for air to escape and push the craft off the ground. Each part of the skirt inflates independently which makes troubleshoot much easier and improves stability. The more stable the skirt is, the slower the hovercraft will move 

 

ADVANTAGES

It can be worked over water, land, and other smooth surfaces. It is more maneuverable than boats. It has equivalent operating cost to the conventional boats of the same speed and payload. It is effortless in design, manufacture and operation. It can also be used for transport purposes. It is suitable for Disaster Management and army research operations

 

DISADVANTAGES

They move a lot of air and can be relatively loud.

Potential of skirt damage.

More repairs.

Less capacity.

Control/stability is less as compared to other vehicles.

 

APPLICATIONS

High speed marine sub surface & ground scanning survey & detection.

Transport, service & safety craft for river & low tide coastal work where 24-hour access is vital for staff safety.

Distribution of famine or flood aid support Relief work.

Remote mining access support vehicle

 

 CONCLUSION

The development of air cushion vehicle controlled utilizing android application was fruitful. In the wake of running a few tests to get the best program to work it, the air cushion vehicle could go in any event most of the way around every course. The test was getting the air cushion vehicle to respond at a pace sufficiently quick to keep it moving around the track, yet one moment for that it would be wild. Doing as such took a considerable measure of changing with the heaviness of the air cushion vehicle, the velocity of the fans, and the response time. The main repeating issue that was experienced was the batteries losing control rapidly. The batteries would just permit the air cushion vehicle to run a couple times. To alter that issue the batteries were supplanted with new Neon batteries. Neon batteries ended up being extremely valuable for this anticipate
