My grandfather was on the engineering team for this. I remember getting to see the unclassified blue prints for this after he retired . It was cool having a grandpa that was a civil defense engineer for 50 years . He worked on alot of neat projects in that time starting with the Fleetwing aeronautical fighter dive bomber , then the Bronco , the Lcac , the space shuttle , and ending his career with the Abrahms .

My dad was a navigator on one of these for 16years. ACU-5 Camp Pendleton. LCAC-13 was his boat. I loved being around these as a kid.

Truly one of those force multipliers. Really fun to ride in. ACU-5, 11th MEU 2002.

As a Gas Turbine Tech. the US Navy offered me this job as long as I would reenlist. I said " Thank You. I'd rather be a civilian".

I see a business opportunity with the LCAC if they ever surplus.. transporting supplies to northern Canada and Alaska is difficult after the ice melt... the LCAC could ferry 1 loaded semi.. or.. better yet.. 2 loaded trailers across the expanses.. would need the tractor at each end..

Boffan guns and mini guns and missle and laser's forward and aft. This would give all round protection over the hoover craft.

Easy to distinguish between east coast and west coast craft.

How? Seems like there is always a difference between the two coasts.

How high do big hovercrafts get off the ground?

@tony_m_km6mzp Жыл бұрын

When I was a member of the U.S. Navy Unit that brought the LCAC's on or off shore called BeachMasters Unit One Detachement Western Pacific in the mid-90's, we had to learn the basics of the LCAC. They only get a few inches off the surface of the ground or water at most 6 inches if I remember correctly..

@@tony_m_km6mzp I was watching a video where the military was looking for a next generation of these giants. Supposedly they could be lighter with less motors. Maybe that could make hovercraft lift higher. I was thinking instead of fans why not jet engines? That would push a lot of air. Also revamping the hull shape. I think there is definite room for research and development.

Again flaw in the basement of the hoover craft with no armour protection.

@joeyh5172 22 күн бұрын

They were actually tested going over mines in and out of the water. The air flow is so great it didn't sustain any damage. Were talking about 1,000,000 cubic feet of air per second. Yes per second.

Is that big baby naket. I sees no weapons on her. May I ask why a military vehicle possess no weapons. If so, may I says, that you people sure like living dangerously, or maybe you have not confronting real danger as to yets. So please add some weapons on your military vehicle for your future confrontation. No seriously, just do it. Because everyone in all around the world are doing it.

The LCAC is being protected by the Amphibious ship that is either launching or recovering the LCAC. And possibly air support.
