Hovercraft regards an amphibious as the tool, it can carry a large number of soldiers on surface not only, still can equip firepower undertakes covering fight, can land directly have charge, making war use very much. And European bison hovercraft is the Wang Zhe in hovercraft more, china ever cost great strength to introduce hovercraft of 4 Wu Kelan bison. Before 2 are direct introduce from Wukelan, hind 2 are own production of the China below the help in Wukelan, face very big dilemma for a time when build, but also finish gradually. So perhaps somebody can have doubt, why after China is building 2, why to make bison hovercraft no longer?

It is reported, bison hovercraft equipment is the UGT-6000 gas turbine that 5 power are 10 thousand horsepower, and the predecessor of gas turbine is engine of NK-12MV turbine airscrew, want to be modelled on the difficulty of engine of NK-12MV turbine airscrew is very tall, china wants to become bison hovercraft homebred it is very difficult to change, solve engine with respect to need above all this difficult problem.
Time of bison hovercraft design is more ages ago, concept of a lot of designs is relatively backward, if China still wants make bison hovercraft in the future, must undertaking upgrading transforming, need to spend proper time. At present Chinese navy is not badly in need of hovercraft, china has developed a hovercraft of " of bronco of a 726A " , although his function is,cannot compare with bison hovercraft, but it can embark completely to a fortified building in 071 motor vessel landing boat, so time upgrades to its, let its have more outstanding battle capacity thereby, to moment again big batch is produced not late also. Additional, bison hovercraft still is put in a blemish, cannot be inside sea area of Gao Hai condition voyage, when encountering billow to be as high as 1.5 meters its speek of a ship or plane can drop 38 the following, when billow is as high as 2 meters, the boat is met stall.

Bison hovercraft volume is very huge, displacement achieves 555 tons, it is famed with powerful locomotive ability all the time. Hovercraft of bison of it is reported but locomotive 150 tons of heavy goods, be equivalent to 3 China 96A model advocate the weight of station tank, if do not carry,carry goods, the word of simple locomotive soldier, the biggest set limit to can accommodate 360 soldiers. The speek of a ship or plane of bison hovercraft most greatly 60, equip the UGT-6000 gas turbine that 5 power are 10 thousand horsepower. Generally speaking, need of a channel costs bison hovercraft crossing a time of half hours, and common landing boat needs to cost 8 to 10 hours, china takes a fancy to the performance with bison hovercraft fast traversal speed namely at the outset.

Actually China is not building 2 bison hovercraft is very ages ago thing, at present China had been built more than hovercraft of 2 homebred bison, at present hovercraft of the 6th bison has been built finish, china can change QC70 gas turbine very likely the gas turbine that equips formerly, because this does not need completely to rely on Wukelan, can make bison hovercraft independently, and still matched for bison hovercraft go partly boat 868 naval vessel, great enhanced bison hovercraft fight area.
