{"product_id":"theory-and-design-of-air-liang-yun-9780340676509","title":"Theory and Design of Air Cushion Craft","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis definitive text describes the theory and design both of Air Cushion Vehicles (ACV) and Surface Effect Ships (SES). It begins by introducing hovercraft types and their development and application throughout the world in the last three decades, before going on to discuss the theoretical aspects of ACV and SES craft covering their hovering performance, dynamic trim over calm water, resistance, stability, manoeuvrability, skirt configuration and analysis of forces acting on the skirts, ACV and SES seakeeping, and the methodology of scaling aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces acting on the ACV\/SES from model test data.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe latter chapters describe a design methodology, including design criteria and standard methods for estimating craft performance, lift system design, skirt design, hull structure, propulsion systems and power unit selection. Much technical information, data, and references to further work on hovercraft and SES design is provided. The book will be a useful reference to engineers, technicians, teachers, students (both undergraduate and postgraduate), operators etc. who are involved in ACV\/SES research, design, construction and operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Liang Yun, Alan Bliault\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0340676507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780340676509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Butterworth-Heinemann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.20w x 1.80d","brand":"Liang Yun","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149171945727,"sku":"9780340676509","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_258dad8f-df50-4b74-8b42-da665b372eb2.jpg?v=1688455217","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theory-and-design-of-air-liang-yun-9780340676509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
