| Abstract | As part of a program of research into the vertical oscillation ("heave") to which air cushion vehicles are liable, experiments have been made on a vehicle (HEX-5) in attempts to measure heave. Overland the vehicle would not heave at any point in its operating range, but overwater it showed heave oscillation clearly and systematically. Frequency, acceleration and amplitude were measured over a range of vehicle weights and lift airflows. This report records the experiments and data obtained. |
