Abstract
A ground-effect amphibious hovercraft vehicle having a system of retractable wings (8), which are retracted (parking mode) by retracting arms (17a and 17b) of both wings by a head (19). At the same time, the vehicle acts as a ground-effect hovercraft vehicle when the wings (8) are extended (flight mode), which is done by extending the arms (17a and 17b) of both wings by the head (19). The head (19) is extended/retracted using a cylinder (22) moved by a drive motor (18), which may be an electric motor, a hydraulic motor or a mechanical motor, or manually using cables and pulleys.
Claims9
An amphibious hovercraft comprising retracted wings (8) (parking mode), collected by retracting the arms of both wings (17a and 17b) by means of the head (19), is in turn a ground effect hovercraft with extended wings (8) (flight mode), extended by extending the arms of both wings (17a and 17b) by means of the head (19) wherein the head (19) is extended/retracted by the cylinder (22), and mobilized by a drive motor (18), which can be:
- electric, hydraulic, mechanical, or manual motor, cables and pulleys.
