Note
A distinctive feature of the ship is an artificial air cavity on the bottom to achieve high speed and efficiency in the movement. The first ships dynamically supported were based on static air cushions with powerful fans and a huge fuel consumption. The air cavity vessels are more economical than the hovercraft. In both types of the special contours of the bottom is a layer for holding compressed air.
