Hovercraft: what is it and how does it work?
Hovercraft are vehicles that can travel on water, ice, snow, and land. It works based on the principle of an air cushion, which is created between the bottom of the vessel and the surface.
Advantages of hovercraft
Passability
They are able to move through shallow water,
go out to an unequipped shore
go out to an unequipped shore
Navigation period
They can be used at any time of the year
Fuel consumption
Cost-effective due to reduced friction
«Zhuk»
Collapsible frame and fabric hovercraft
The Zhuk is designed for year-round operation on rivers and lakes, as well as any other open and relatively flat surfaces.
In winter, the Zhuk is an individual fishing vehicle. Due to the fundamental property of hovercrafts not to sink into the polynya or fall through the ice, the Beetle turns out to be the only safe means of transportation on the first and last ice. At the same time, it has the unique property of collapsibility, like an inflatable boat, and when disassembled, it is transported on an ordinary passenger car, complete with the rest of the fishing equipment.
In the summer, the Zhuk is used by tourists, outdoor enthusiasts, on lakes, mountain and forest rivers inaccessible to other types of small vessels. Unlike airboats, the Beetle does not frighten all living things with the noise of the propeller, since it uses a screw in an annular nozzle for movement, with a small load on the swept area.

«ZMEY»
Non-collapsible frame and fabric hovercraft
Hovercraft "Zmey" is a non-collapsible version of Hovercraft "Zhyk". The supporting element of the "Zmey" body is a frame made of duralumin pipes interconnected by clamps through elastic bushings. The presence of a rigid frame allows you to install various cabin options, as well as have a flat cargo area for transporting bulky goods.
Hovercraft "Zmey" can be manufactured in different versions along the length of the hull with various variants of propulsion and injection systems. At the same time, the elongated hull with more powerful engines makes it possible to significantly increase the ship's carrying capacity. When installing protective scales made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene on the bottom of the skegs. The kite has the ability to move through snow and ice without aerostatic unloading (in the sled mode). This mode of movement is sometimes necessary to overcome uneven areas and to increase maneuverability.
Hovercraft "Zmey" in various modifications, has found application as a rescue vessel for small bodies of water. It is also used by winter fishermen.

«Scorpion»
A blow-up airboat
A blow-up airboat is a new type of small amphibious craft that combines the basic properties of an airboat with an inflatable hull and a hovercraft. The Scorpion hull is not a hybrid, nor is it a reworking of a classic inflatable airboat. The housing design was designed specifically for the most efficient use of the blower.
The Scorpion-4 modification is lighter, which allows you to do without too much engine power, especially in comparison with an airboat without blowing. Even one can handle such a boat, but it carries four people. And for long-distance crossings, two people can take with them all the necessary equipment and supplies.
The Scorpion-5 has a longer body and reinforced construction. You can put a car engine on such a boat and use it to transport significant loads.The Scorpion submarine is classified as a hovercraft.

Experimental models
The motobanan was assembled as a testbed for the hovercraft Zhuk-2 engine. But during the tests, it turned out that the Motorcycle was driving and operating quite normally. That's what we use. On the first ice and hard surface, the Motorcycle buggy is not inferior to the hovercraft. The new Shaitan-Banana modification, with an 11hp engine, generally shows wonders of maneuverability, calmly rides through pudgy and sticky snow, glides through deep open water.
