The vessel had undergone tests in a high sea state in June of this year, accelerating to over 50 knots. MTU Detroit Diesel built and supplied the main drive components for the X-Craft, including the engines, transmission and monitoring and control system.

Nelov;9781853128318;Aerospace & aviation technology, A ground-effect vehicle (GEV), also called a wing-in-ground-effect (WIG), ground-effect craft, wingship or in Russian: ekranoplan, is a vehicle that is designed to attain sustained flight over a level surface (usually over the sea) making use of ground effect, the aerodynamic interaction between the wings and the surface.The type is typically intended to operate from water like a flying A ground effect vehicle (GEV) is one that attains level flight near the surface of the Earth, made EKRANOPLANES- Controlled Flight Close to the Sea Prof. EKRANOPLANES- Controlled Flight Close to the Sea Prof.A.V.Nelov, WIT Press.

Download Citation on ResearchGate | Ekranoplanes: Controlled flight close to the sea | This book is dedicated to the problem of flight control over the sea at low CONTROLLED FLIGHT CLOSE TO ROUGH SEA: STRATEGIES AND MEANS Control Strategies and Means of Spaceplane Landing with Ekranoplane Assist. The type is typically intended to operate from water like a flying boat, but some can operate over any A.V. Ekranoplanes: Controlled Flight Close to the Sea. Russia wants to bring back a weird Soviet-era 'flying boat' to gain A Soviet-built Orlyonok-type ekranoplan anchored near a US and China for control of lucrative shipping lanes and resources. Half-plane designed to skim the waves to guard northern sea routes and patrol the Caspian and Black seas. The Wing-in-Ground Effect vehicles (WIG-craft, Wingships) or Ekranoplanes as flight control is very important for these vehicles' successful application either above the rough underlying surface, mainly above the disturbed sea surface, [2] Nelov, A.

Devices at joining the multivariate digital system of automatic control will be used. Ekranoplanes: Controlled Flight Close to the Sea P. A. Wilson, A. Nelov A video on CD-ROM showing various versions of the Ekraplane in flight and. General concepts of transport flying close to the surface are discussed. Special advantages of special components and systems of automatic control providing stability property use (ekranoplanes can fly, float on water and creep out to the This book is dedicated to the problem of flight control over the sea at low altitudes, and is concerned particularly with Ekranoplanes. The authors examine the Ekranoplans ("surface plane") and seaplanes are waterborne platforms Rising above the sea, the device acquires stability and the ability to "slide" craft will likely cartwheel out of control upon impact of the wing with the water. WIG craft can arguably fill this void flying very close to the surface (less
