A self-propelled model of an Air Cushion Vehicle has been built and flight tested on the UTIAS Circular Track Facility. A detailed study of the flow through the model has been made, and the jet mass and momentum fluxes have been measured. An augmentation curve and the basic static and dynamic stability characteristics in pitch have been obtained for the model while in hovering flight. (Author)
