Abstract[English]
The invention provides a new class of transportation with a partially aerostatically supported ram air cushion ship (PASRACS) that can provide safe, fast, efficient global transport services with extraordinary comfort, luxury and amenities. The PASRACS employs inventive synergistic combinations of lift from aerostatic, aerodynamic, hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces for different modes of operation ranging from a stationary floating configuration on a water surface, to flight in ground effect at high speed. A propulsion system can utilize hydrogen as an energy source driving fluid-dynamic thrusters, to enable zero carbon emissions operations. A transition method is provided for a PASRACS to transition from a floating mode to a takeoff mode to a flight in ground-effect mode in an inventive optimized manner. A transport method for multimodally transporting payload is provided with PASRACS vehicles and systems, with quick turn time operations enabled by the use of payload transfer transport modules and transfer vehicles.[French]
L'invention concerne une nouvelle classe de transport avec un navire à coussin d'air dynamique (PASRACS) supporté de manière partiellement aérostatique qui peut fournir des services de transport mondiaux sûrs, rapides et efficaces avec un confort, un luxe et des commodités extraordinaires. Le PASRACS utilise des combinaisons synergiques de portance selon l'invention à partir de forces aérostatiques, aérodynamiques, hydrostatiques et hydrodynamiques pour différents modes de fonctionnement allant d'une configuration flottante fixe sur une surface d'eau, à un vol dans un effet de sol à grande vitesse. Un système de propulsion peut utiliser de l'hydrogène en tant que source d'énergie pour entraîner des propulseurs dynamiques à fluide , afin de permettre des opérations sans émissions de carbone. L'invention concerne un procédé de transition pour un PASRACS pour passer d'un mode flottant à un mode de décollage pour un vol dans un mode à effet de sol d'une manière optimisée selon l'invention. Les véhicules et systèmes de PASRACS offrent un procédé de transport multimodal de la charge utile, avec des opérations en temps réel rapides grâce à l'utilisation de modules de transport de transfert de charge utile et de véhicules de transfert.
