冲翼艇是是利用“水面效应”(或称“地面效应”)产生的升力而在离地面1米左右或贴着地面进行低高度飞行的一种交通工具。与气垫船相比,它飞得更快、更高、更稳,超低空巡航性能优良;与直升机相比,它具有其有效载荷大,留空持续时间长,航程远的特点;与通用飞机相比,有些性能不相上下,甚至其使用经济性更佳。从它刚一问世,就对国防现代化、民用生活等产生了重大影响。 Rafting is a means of transportation at low altitudes about 1 meter above the ground or close to the ground using the lift generated by the “water effect” (or “ground effect”). Compared with the hovercraft, it flies faster, higher, more stable, ultra-low-altitude cruise performance; Compared with the helicopter, which has its payload, long duration, long range; with the common aircraft phase Some, comparable performance, and even its use of economic better. Since its birth, it has had a significant impact on the modernization of national defense and civilian life.
