  • The RIT(Research Institude of Technology) in KTMI(Korea Tacoma Marine Industries, Ltd) has played a vital role in maintaining the comapany's leader ship as a pioneer in the technical development of shipbuilding and new type of special vessel design. As a results, in February of 1981, the RIT could succeed in designing and constructing a small manned test hovercraft. In Arpril of 1983, the RIT started to design a 12M class, 55knots hovercraft with the highly skilled and experienced technology through the development of 4 kinds of SES(Surface Effect Ship), totally 10 vessels. In December of 1984, the diesel-powered 12M class hovercraft of proto type was developed with RIT'S own technical ability. The craft is the first hovercraft in domestic and the first diesel-powered hovercraft in Asia area. The paper describe the progress of development and general review of technology and concept of design about the hovercraft developed.

  • The hovercraft is the amphibious hovercraft. Design and manufacturing companies of the aero propeller exist rarely in the world. Hence the propeller has beef designed and manufactured by manufacturing companies which make aero propeller mainly. In this paper, the hovercraft propeller of similar, which is building and designing by HHIC, is considered the type of aero propeller, rotational speed, diameter, number of blades, Open air propeller efficiency. As the result of check, hovercraft which is necessary huge static thrust is needed the ducted propeller in order to improve climbing capacity. However, the number of blades and turning direction almost do not affect.

  • Amphibious possible, and good fuel economy, so as leisure and transport has increased the use of hovercraft. Fire started in Korea, the prevalence is increasing in demand as the trend has been increasing steadily. In this paper, the hovercraft's forward and backward direction can be controlled in order to free the reverse bucket control system was developed. Control due to development by promoting the flow of air and turn right, turn left and easy to reverse the life-saving and stable at high speed, etc. has made possible the operation of hovercraft. The controller for the stability and fast response Fuzzy-PID method was used. To prove the validity of the proposed controller in Matlab simulation and the actual delivery at the firehouse, built into a model for the demonstration test was performed.

  • The need for an environmental monitoring system that obtains and provides environmental information in real time is increasing. In particular, in the case of water quality management in public waters, regular management must be conducted through manual and automatic measurement by law, and air pollution also requires regular measurement and management to reduce fine dust and exhaust gas in connection with the realization of carbon neutrality. In this study, we implemented a system that can measure and monitor water pollution and air pollution information in real time. A hovercraft capable of moving on land and water simultaneously was used as a measurement tool. Water quality measurement and air pollution measurement sensors were installed on the hovercraft body, and a communication module was installed to transmit the information to the monitoring system in real time. The structure of a hovercraft for environmental measurement was designed, and a LoRa module capable of low-power, long-distance communication was applied as a real-time information transmission communication module. The operational performance of the proposed system was confirmed through actual hardware implementation.

  • The static stability of a high-speed hovercraft is estimated by model tests, simplified restoring moment equations and CFD. Well-known methods to increase the stability of hovercrafts are introduced. Roll and pitch moments of a scaled model with a skirt system are measured over inclination angles. The tests are performed on cushion at zero speed both on-land and over-water. To predict the static stability performance, simple restoring moment equations and CFD approach are introduced. Both shows a quantitative difference from the model test results, however, could be used as a design tool for relative comparison prior to model tests.
