Abstract:
Class LCAC Hovercraft is a hovercraft which has the ability to support military operations in the fields of transport and distribution of logistics and other combat equipments. Indonesia only has a hovercraft which is used to transport personnels only. This study aimed to analyze the calculation of lift style and design of the bow thruster to obtain the great style and the right blade design in detail. Therefore, the characteristics corresponding to the results of numerical calculation of 200.56 m3/s Air Volume Elevator Volume, 4905.5 N/m2Total fan pressure, 1000 mm Outside diameter, 700 mm Input Diameter, 15 Blades, 322 mm Impeller Leaf Width, 0.776 Efficiency could be obtained
