Studies have been conducted on an Air Cushion Landing System for the Australian Jindivik target drone aircraft. Analyses are presented of the airflow and yaw thruster control systems, and the vehicle stability with a deployed recovery trunk is assessed. The vehicle touchdown and slideout on a recovery trunk are presented, and the design of an improved retention/release system is shown. (Author)
