Problems solved by technology

However, the wheels are fixed relative to the tank and are therefore submerged during the propulsion phase over water, causing drag
Reducing this drag leads to smaller wheels, which makes propulsion on the road less good

Embodiment Construction

[0029] Such as Figures 1A-1C As shown, the amphibious vehicle comprises a shell 1 defining an underwater portion 2 and cavities 3a and 3b, said shells each comprising lateral, upper, and bottom bulkheads 9a and 8b, 9a and 8b. , the partition is arranged in the side of the housing 1 . The two arms 4a and 4b located on either side of the plane of symmetry XX' of the housing 1 can be turned about an axis substantially parallel to the axis YY' of the housing 1 and located in the lower part of the arms, so as to assume the unfolded position and the folded Location.

[0030] In the folded position, the arms 4a and 4b are seated in the cavities 3a and 3b, respectively. On one of the faces of said arms, said arms comprise covers, respectively 6 a and 6 b , which at least partially close the respective cavities and which are placed in the extension of the submerged part 2 . The arms 4a and 4b carry tracks 5a and 5b at their free ends. In the folded position, these crawlers 5a and ...

Abstract

The invention relates to an amphibious vehicle that includes: a hull (1) having a longitudinal axis; an aquatic propulsion means; a terrestrial propulsion means (5a, 5b) mounted on arms (4a, 4b) pivoting about an axis substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of said hull, and capable of assuming a stowed position when said vehicle moves over water using the aquatic propulsion means, and an extended position in which said vehicle can move on the ground using said terrestrial propulsion means. In the stowed position, the arms (4a, 4b) extend into cavities (3a, 3b) formed in the hull (1), and a portion of the arms (4a, 4b) defines a lid that at least partially closes the cavity (3a, 3b) in the longitudinal direction of the hull bottom (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an amphibious vehicle. Background technique [0002] Amphibian vehicles offer the possibility of moving on water and on land with the same vehicle, which is of great use in areas that do not have port facilities. If the amphibian is provided with tracks, it can additionally be moved in land areas without roads, such as beach areas. [0003] Moving on water in a relatively efficient manner requires that these vehicles have a hull of a hydrodynamically acceptable shape and of course also have water propulsion means such as propellers, liquid jets or sails. The additional integration of land propulsion means such as wheels and tracks in the housing is cumbersome. In order not to impair the water propulsion performance of the vehicle, it should in particular be avoided that these means are submerged during the water propulsion phase and cause very high drag, for example when these means are retractable. [0004] Several examples...
