THE AMPHIBIOUS OFF-ROAD HOVERCRAFT “ACTICA 3DK” consists of the all-body (centre section) where the driver's cabin, passenger saloon, motor section with air pumps, transmission section where air screw drive reductions and engine radiators are installed.

The shock absorbers in the aft are equipped with guard-ring air screws and air steering wheels.

Broadside lines are equipped with board sections – buoyancy blocks filled with water-proof material, providing buoyancy and resistance to flooding in any emergency situations.

The all-body and buoyancy blocks are equipped with a flexible seal made of a special rubber-cord belt of variable thickness. In contrast to Russian and foreign analogues it has no closed units like bags and balloons. This construction provides a long life of the hovercraft on open water, marshes filled with bulrush, bushes, low forest, tundra all the year round.

The passenger saloon and the driver's cabin are well heat-insulted, have double windows, are sound-proof and equipped with an independent heater and an independent electric station.

For safety purposes on a cross-country territory the hovercraft is equipped with a unit (elastic brake shield) providing connection with the base (water, snow, marsh). This equipment keeps the craft from skidding at sharp turns, down slopes, meandering rivers and along ice roads and provides efficient braking down the hill and pivot turns of the hovercraft.

For making mobility better the hovercraft is equipped with the retractable wheel chassis (plane type). The chassis is leading and works synchronously with the air steering wheels.
