Summary

[edit]
Description 330-PSA-16-62 (USN 711011): This model indicates the general appearance of a 22-ton hydroskimmer research craft scheduled to be built for the U.S. Navy in Buffalo, New York, by Textron’s Bell Aerosystems Company. The 21-foot long craft will skim on a cushion of air at speeds in excess of 70 knots over smooth water and flat land surfaces. The four horizontal fans will provide the lift to keep the vehicle some two feet over the surface, while the two propellers mounted aft will supply the drive thrust. Aerodynamic rudders behind the propellers will provide turn control. The open cargo deck in the after part of the hydroskinner will carry approximately five tons of payload. The ship is scheduled to be built by mid-1963. Photograph released January 16, 1962. (9/29/2015).
