System for controlling an air cushion vehicle by propeller towers and a propeller tower
The invention relates to a control system for an air cushion vehicle (400) for the purpose of improving maneuverability of the air cushion vehicle. The system includes four propeller towers (401-404), propellers installed at the propeller towers, and mounting seats for mounting the propeller towers to the air cushion vehicle. In the system, an edge portion (442) located closest to a side wall N of the air cushion vehicle in the mounting seat is located closer to the ground than an opposite edge portion (446) in relation to a pivot point in the mounting seat, providing a tilt (450) of the propeller in response to rotation of the mounting seat at the pivot point, and in response to the rotation of the mounting seat, the propeller tower directs an air flow (452) produced with the propeller over the side wall of the air cushion vehicle and, due to the tilt of the propeller, partly downwardly relative to a horizontal plane defined by the ground, the air flow exerting a force (462) that lifts the side wall of the air cushion vehicle upwardly from the ground.

Wing in ground effect vehicle
A modular wing in ground effect vehicle has a fuselage which receives interchangeable cockpit and component modules and may accept a variety of snap-on wing styles and control surfaces for various flying conditions and pilot skill levels. When depleted or due for repairs, modules containing stored energy components or machinery subject to wear or periodic maintenance may be exchanged for fresh units so that a vehicle requiring such an exchange may be returned to service quickly and conveniently.

AMPHIBIOUS AIR-CUSHION VEHICLE WITH DUAL-RAIL CARGO SYSTEM
An amphibious air cushion vehicle includes an air cushion supported hull configured for travel on water and smooth land; a deck supported by the hull; and a dual-rail cargo system having tracks arranged longitudinally on along the hull cargo deck from an aft end. The tracks include (1) guide rails and rollers providing for guided sliding movement of palletized cargo along the tracks, and (2) locks for locking pallets in position during transport, The track is configured at the aft end for an unloading operation in which the locks are disengaged and the palletized cargo slides off the aft end onto underlying land as the vehicle is moving forward thereon. The track may be the one track of a single-track variant, or one of a pair of tracks in a two-track variant.
