440037000 | AIR PROPELLED BOAT | 8 |
20090181584 | Method for performing overhead work using air-propelled vessel with articulating member - A method of using a wide, flat-bottom, buoyant, amphibious hull with a powered articulating member mounted on the deck. The hull is propelled by at least one engine-driven propeller rotating above the hull. The hull has a shallow draft and distributes its weight over a large area. These features cooperatively provide a vehicle capable of performing overhead work, such as installing or servicing power transmission poles, towers, or other structures located in environmentally sensitive wetlands, swamps, marshes, shallow water, or terrain which is not efficiently accessible by other means. | 07-16-2009 |
20110053438 | Air-thrust vehicle - An air-thrust marine vehicle has a hull with upwardly extending hull sides. An air-thrusting propulsion unit is configured for detachable mounting on the gunwales of various width hulls. The propulsion unit has a base assembly configured to move between a retracted position and plurality of expanded width positions for accommodating various width hulls, while being configured to hingedly engage the gunwales. The propulsion unit can be removed from the vehicle and positioned on another vehicle, such as a boat, an ice- or snow-traversing vehicle. | 03-03-2011 |
20110263166 | All season air propelled watercraft - An all season air propelled watercraft has an elongated cabin structure adapted to accommodate at least one person therein. An elongated central pontoon member adjustably mounted to a bottom portion of the cabin structure and extending in a parallel direction thereto for at least the length thereof. Two stabilizer connector assemblies adjustably attached to a bottom portion of the cabin structure and extending horizontally in opposite directions therefrom. Two lateral stabilizer pontoons respectively and adjustably attached to a distal end portion of each the stabilizer connector assembly; | 10-27-2011 |

An air-thrusting propulsion unit is configured for detachable mounting on the gunwales of various width hulls. The propulsion unit has a base assembly configured to move between a retracted position and plurality of expanded width positions for accommodating various width hulls, while being configured to hingedly engage the gunwales. The propulsion unit can be removed from the vehicle and positioned on another vehicle, such as a boat, an ice- or snow-traversing vehicle. | 08-16-2012 |
20130005201 | Apparatus for Performing Overhead Work Using Air-Propelled Vessel with Articulating Member - A wide, flat-bottom, buoyant, amphibious hull with a powered articulating member mounted on the deck. The hull has a shallow draft and distributes its weight over a large area and is propelled by at least one engine-driven propeller rotating above the hull. These features cooperatively provide a vehicle capable of performing overhead work, such as installing or servicing power transmission poles, towers, or other structures located in environmentally sensitive wetlands, swamps, marshes, shallow water, or terrain which is not efficiently accessible by other means. | 01-03-2013 |
20130295800 | VARIABLE DRIVE WATER LINE AIRBOAT - An airboat that may include an engine that is mounted to the hull of the airboat at an angle, and at least one propeller mounted to the hull of the airboat at an angle. The canted engine and propeller design may facilitate a lower center of gravity, a lower average center of thrust above the waterline, air induction for reduced surface drag, the lowering of torque roll forces, less overall boat height, and fuel efficiency with a reduced level of noise. | 11-07-2013 |
20150056877 | ATTITUDE RECONSTRUCTING APPARATUS OF AIR BOAT - It is an object of the invention to realize an attitude reconstructing apparatus of an air boat in which until a ship body in an overturn attitude is set to a rotational angle which is equal to or less than an overturn limit angle and is reconstructed to a normal attitude, a force in a reconstructing direction can be continuously made to act on the ship body and the ship body can be certainly reconstructed to the normal attitude. | 02-26-2015 |
20160101840 | Apparatus for Performing Overhead Work Using Air-Propelled Vessel with Articulating Member - A wide, flat-bottom, buoyant, amphibious hull with a powered articulating member mounted on the deck. The hull has a shallow draft and distributes its weight over a large area and is propelled by at least one engine-driven propeller rotating above the hull. These features cooperatively provide a vehicle capable of performing overhead work, such as installing or servicing power transmission poles, towers, or other structures located in environmentally sensitive wetlands, swamps, marshes, shallow water, or terrain which is not efficiently accessible by other means. | 04-14-2016 |
