A test program was conducted by Textron's Bell Aerospace Company, using their air cushion landing system (ACLS) equipped Lake LA-4 aircraft to investigate the potential of a suction braking ACLS subsystem. The new braking subsystem was tried on dry and wet runway and rough grass. Deceleration up to 0.5g was recorded with the suction flow available. The potential of a developed system applied to a cushion planform designed to utilize suction braking exceeds this range, and the report predicts effective potential application to the C-130, Jindivik, and XC-8A.
