CA 2164010

This invention relates to a multisurface air propelled and air supported craft primarily intended for alternative use on water, ice, swampland and secondarily on solid terrain such as gravel roads, river banks and any other relatively flat surface including surface voids like trenches. The calamaran type of craft is supported partially or in full by pressurized air diverted under the craft from main air propulsion and by hydrodynamic lift created by a rigid inflatable pontoons. Directional control is provided by rudders located behind the propeller. Stopping is accomplished by a pair of independent drag brakes located inside each pontoon, while lateral control is achieved by a variable lift valve.
