美国可变船型气垫船(T-Craft)技术方案

美国海军研究署(ONR)2006年启动可变船型气垫船(Transformable Craft,简称:T-Craft)项目,用于海上基地的高速连接舰。第一阶段研究主要开展初步方案论证及技术风险分析等;第二阶段研究自2008年初开始,包括关键技术研究、方案设计和模型试验等。文章主要介绍在合同第二阶段,Alion公司及TMLS公司对该船型的一些研究工作和关键技术解决方案。

Technical scheme of American T-Craft program

In 2006 ,the Office of Naval Research of America funded the program of Transformable Craft,i.e. T-Craft ,which is for Sea Base Connector. Scheme demonstration and technology risk analysis were done during Phase I. Phase II,which began in the early of 2008, focused on the critical technology research, scheme design and model tests. This article introduces the research and key technology solutions for the T-craft by Alion Science and Technology Corp. and Textron Marine and Land Systems（TM ＆ LS）during Phase II.
