The Royal Institution of Naval Architects
Air Cushion Vehicles &
Surface Effect Craft
17 - 18 November 2009
Second Announcement
As part of the celebrations marking 50 years since the launch of the
SRN-1, the UK’s first hovercraft, RINA will be running another of
its successful conferences on the subject of hovercraft and surface
effect craft. This will not only be an opportunity to look back on
50 years of development, but more importantly a chance to look
forward to the current and future developments in the field.
The conference will also cover the latest developments in design,
manufacture and operation of surface effect craft.
The merits of such vehicles over other marine vessels are becoming
increasingly clear especially with the new problems related to
climate change, rising global sea levels and major natural disasters.
This diversification of roles brings new challenges for both designers
and operators.
RINA invites papers relating to both Surface Effect Craft and
Air Cushion Vehicles, covering all aspects of Design, Operation,
Development and Regulation.
RINA invites papers on all related topics including:
Design and Construction
Control systems
Propulsion
New applications
Regulation
