Excerpt from:  Chapter 3, section 4:

​

Hump Speed

The term describes the characteristic behavior of the hovercraft as it gains speed over water. A hovercraft hovering in a stationary position will displace its own weight of water beneath its cushion. This induces a bow wave which the hovercraft must climb over to attain cruising speed.

Operating below hump speed causes a hovercraft to respond much like a boat. Slow hovercraft speeds can help when maneuvering; however can be undesirable when in currents or swift water where the water will tend to affect the speed and direction of travel of the hovercraft.

 

Getting over hump:

1. Increase throttle to increase lift engine RPM. While increasing RPM verify the skirt is clear of water (see skirt drain procedure).

2. Set lift fan RPM to low lift (1,900 – 2,100 RPM).  

3. From a standstill (0 mph) the hovercraft must be slowly brought up to the accelerating power setting (4,500 – 5,000 RPM).
