| Abstract | In connection with an analytical/experimental study of the HEAVE oscillation of ACVs, it was required to obtain steady-state data on lift airflow and cushion pressure over a range of rise heights for a typical ACV.
Two experiments were carried out on vehicle HEX-5 over a smooth concrete floor in the Engine Laboratory. In the first experiment the vehicle was fixed at a series of rise heights, and lift airflow and cushion pressure recorded over a range of lift fan RPMs. In the second experiment the vehicle was free to rise, and the rise height was measured at each point.
At no point in either of these experiments did the vehicle show any signs of heave oscillation. |
