Commercial hovercraft TUNGUS-18

passengerekranoplan

Amphibious WIG-hovercraft “Tungus” occupies a special place for the novelty of development and its relevance for use in remote regions. The main feature of the craft is the presence of two basic running modes: the first mode is movement on static air cushion and the second mode is movement on the dynamic air cushion. Both modes are cruising and economical. The first mode is used for travel on small rivers and navigationally complex stretches of main rivers. The air cushion mode is used at speeds of 50-90 km/h. The second mode provides movement with velocity of 160-200 km/h. This mode is used for navigation on main rivers and coastal waters over long distances. WIG-hovercraft has a high economic efficiency. The cost of fuel per 1 passenger-km is 1,5–2 times less than that of the existing high-speed passenger vessels and airplanes. The craft does not require expensive berthing facilities and can be operated year-round.
