Soviet NKL-16M 'Hydrosan'

<< < (2/9) > >>

robunos:
Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately I don't have a suitable pair of matching engines, or propellers. I would also need to design and make a complete new engine mount. In addition, side by side engines would mean that the float track would need to be widened, and tandem engines would be . . . a mess.
As for an in-universe reason, the idea is that the Hydrosan is a minimum-change variant of the aerosan . . .


cheers,
Robin.

Buzzbomb:
Very interesting concept

jcf:
The fully amphibious Arctic Airboat Pro 560 pontoon hydrosan/aerosan only has one
engine. The weight of the floats wouldn't really be much of an issue for the engine
while on the water as you're floating on it and there's less drag than pushing across
snow or ice on skis.

GTX_Admin:
For some reason the idea of one of these done as a school bus just popped into my head…

robunos:
Okay . . .
A little progress today. Got the bad joints filled and smoothed, attached the front fuel tank, which really changes the appearance of the vehicle; looks like a hippo to me, and added the 'suspension'. Next up, the engine and it's mounting . . .





That's All For Now, Stay Tuned . . .


cheers,
Robin.
