This application relates to the field of
ship control, providing a hovercraft control method and hovercraft, including: in a static power generation mode, disengaging the
clutch of the hovering fan, energizing the generator, and having the gas
turbine drive the generator to generate
electricity through a
reducer, driving the propulsion fan to rotate with a reverse
pitch, generating a
reverse airflow to cool the generator,
reducer, and gas
turbine; when a sudden load reduction is detected in the generator, increasing the propulsion fan
pitch through a
pitch controller, increasing the
load torque generated by the propulsion fan to compensate for the sudden load reduction and preventing the gas
turbine from overspeeding; the hovering fan stops rotating, causing the hovercraft to contract, and the hovercraft contacts the ground through a fixed
shovel, the unidirectional resistance generated by the fixed
shovel balances the pull generated by the increased propulsion fan pitch, maintaining the stability of the entire vessel. By integrating the generator into the hovercraft's propulsion
system and utilizing the adjustable pitch characteristic of the propulsion fan to cope with sudden load reduction, the integration of emergency power and power mobility are improved.
