(EN) The invention discloses a paddle wheel propulsion hovercraft. The hovercraft comprises a hovercraft body, a power system, an air-cushion system and a propulsion system, wherein the air-cushion systemcomprises air-cushion fans and apron boards, the propulsion system comprises a pair of paddle wheel propellers, the paddle wheel propellers are symmetrically arranged on transverse two sides in the longitudinal middle of the bottom of the hover craft body, the paddle wheel propellers are arranged on the inner sides of the apron boards, the driving directions of the paddle wheel propellers are thesame as the driving direction of the hovercraft body, the lower edges of the paddle wheel propellers are lower than the lower edges of the apron boards, the paddle wheel propellers are arranged at thebottom of the hovercraft body through a lifting supporting frame, and the heights of the paddle wheel propellers are adjustable. Compared with a traditional full air-cushion hovercraft, the paddle wheel propulsion hovercraft is higher in propelling efficiency, smaller in noise and better in operability and stability.
(ZH) 本发明公开了一种明轮推进气垫船，包括船体、动力系统、垫升系统和推进系统，所述垫升系统包括垫升风扇和围裙，所述推进系统包括一对明轮推进器，一对所述明轮推进器对称设置在所述船体底部的纵向中部的横向两侧，且位于所述围裙的内侧，所述明轮推进器的行进方向与所述船体的行进方向相同，所述明轮推进器的下缘低于所述围裙的下缘，所述明轮推进器通过一升降支架设置在所述船体的底部，所述明轮推进器的高度可调。相比于传统的全垫升气垫船，本发明的明轮推进气垫船的推进效率更高、噪声更小，操作性及稳定性更好。
