MAIN ENGINES
This is a serious Defence Vessel and it will be required to be deployed throughout the world where spares may not be easily to hand. Therefore it is essential to have reliable engines with a proven track record for this kind of vessel. That is why the designers opted for the ever reliable MAN V10 D2940 EDC rated at 1050BHP. These twin liquid cooled diesel engines will drive twin 3.5m diameter 5 bladed ducted Kevlar/carbon solid cored fans.

2 x hydraulic generate lift driven centrifugal fans.

BUNKERAGE

Construction

Wright International Ltd only works with the best yards in the Marine and is never price driven, that is for others to follow. This is a fully amphibious hovercraft capable of carrying a payload of 15 Tonnes OR 80 / 100 Passengers or a combination of both. Capable of 60 Knots it has been designed as a fast comfortable passenger vessel for use anywhere in the world. It has no draft so it can operate in the shallowest of rivers and it can skip over obstacles up to 1.2m High..

The Hull structure is Kevlar/Carbon composite strengthened with Kevlar/Carbon PVC foam cored longitudinal and transverse frames. The lower air chamber void is filled with polyurethane foam for additional impact strength and buoyancy. The bottom skin is ridged and curved in to the bow for greater tensile strength, and to reduce wave impact. The superstructure is constructed from E-glass/Kevlar/Carbon PVC cored panels.

CLASSIFICATION
•Germanischer Lloyd Classification 100 A5
•IMO High Speed Craft Code (2000 Edition)
•Lloyd’s Rules and regulations for the classification of Special Service Craft
•Lloyd’s code for the Lifting Appliance in a Marine Environment
•British Hovercraft Safety Rules
•Lloyd’s Guidance Notes and Requirements for the Classification of Air Cushion Vehicles

OPERATIONAL LIMITS
•Recommended maximum wave height for passenger operation is 1.5 metres (+0.5metres light ship)
•Maximum wind conditions is 35 Knots
•Obstacle clearance of 1.2 metres
•Creeping capability of less than 6 degrees
•Range is 600 N Miles

BALLAST SYSTEM
The craft is fitted with a ballast system that is extremely clever. It determines the craft is level in both planes. Both longitudinal and laterally. It uses a microprocessor to do the calculations, and uses the excess fuel that the craft is carrying as ballast. It will automatically transfer the required amount of fuel ballast, using high volume pumps, to the appropriate area of the craft to maintain the craft’s trim and attitude. This minimizes the need to be careful when loading the craft. The craft has been designed to carry in excess of its own weight in cargo thus making the craft extremely versatile.

Based on the current design weight of this craft, when it is full of fuel, a crew of two and ready for deployment it has a draft of 190 mm when settled in the water. When the craft is fully loaded with its maximum payload the craft only has a draft of 320mm. Due to the hull shape design it is an extremely stable platform when in displacement mode.

Ballast
4 fuel tanks are positioned at 4 “corners” of the hull, and are interconnected with a manifold. A high-speed transfer pump can transfer fuel between all tanks to aid trim. Tank heaters are fitted for extreme cold conditions
