Infos

This text and CD-ROM is dedicated to the problem of flight control over the sea at low altitudes, and is concerned particularly with Ekranoplanes: a breed of aircraft which use low resistance of ground effect flight. Under low flying conditions radar sensors measuring altitude, tilt and velocity of craft trace the variable profile of wave disturbance practically without averaging, thus making it difficult to gauge the motion parameters in relation to the undisturbed level of the sea surface. Translated from the original Russian, this volume should be of interest to specialists in aviation and marine instrumentation, and to researchers and designers of control systems for ekranoplanes, hovercraft, hydrofoils and other types of transport designed for motion close to the sea. A video on CD-ROM showing various versions of the Ekranoplane in flight and general operation is included.
