Abstract:

The article deals with challenge concerning the transport availability of the Arctic regions as the most difficult and unresolved one. There are results of long-term researches of flying vehicles and construction of transport facilities with chassis on pneumocushion. The use of pneumocushion is the most radical means of ultrahigh passability provision, amphibians and all-the-year-round operation of vehicles, planes, high-speed Ships and ekranoplanes. The economic potential of application of flying vehicles and transport facilities with chassis on pneumocushion is considered. There is the comparison of domestic developments with foreign ones. There is also a conclusion that Russia reserved main positions in this matter providing the leadership in many directions e.g. passability and stability of chassis on pneumocushion. Potential economic effect of programs implementation concerning amphibians in short-term prospect is also estimated in the article.
