The presentarticle focuses on the hydrodynamic resistance reduction of Multipurpose Amphibious Vehicles (MAV) usingthe air lubrication layer effect. The use of air cushions to support marine vehicles, heavy floating structures and in other operation is well known. The main problem in Multi-purpose A...
