March Discussion Meeting and Presentation
On March 22/23/24 we held a series of presentation and discussion meetings on Zoom. The meetings were set separately to be convenient for evening events for East Coast Australia, Europe and finally East Coast US (with West Coast being afternoon time).
The meetings were begun with a short presentation by THS Technical Secretary, followed by discussions.
THS January 2023 Lecture on Zoom
Join us for insight into the history of hovercraft and SES skirt design, presentation of design features, and illustrations with designs and photographs.
Professor Doctors will also present a method of estimating the drag generated by skirts as they deflect at speed that has been correlated with model tests and experimental measurements.
THS Presentation 8th December
We have been fortunate enough to have Hovertravel prepare a special presentation for us. It is recorded and so has contributions from several of the key staff.
Quoting the summary of content that I have just received:
‘The presentation will cover COVID and the post-pandemic recovery, the maturing of the GHL 12000 TDs, the ongoing push for accessibility and the fun of our unique Jubilee celebration’
This will be a very interesting presentation, I am sure you will agree, and hopefully will entice as many as possible of you to join us on Zoom on 8th December for the presentation, which will start at 13:30 after the formal procedure of our AGM.
