Features: This book is based on a comprehensive review of domestic and international research, focusing on the problem of waterborne navigation of amphibious vehicles, and systematically elaborates on the fundamental principles and overall design of amphibious vehicles. The book is divided into eight chapters, including an introduction to amphibious vehicles, buoyancy, stability, speed, maneuverability, rolling, sinking resistance and traversability, and the use principles of water obstacle characteristics. In the chapter on speed, the design of water jet propulsion is emphasized. In the chapter on rolling, the calculation method for the inclination angle of amphibious vehicles during waterborne shooting is also explained. The writing of this book is primarily aimed at helping vehicle professionals master the design of waterborne performance. It can be used as a reference for scientific and technical personnel engaged in the research, design, and use of amphibious vehicles, and can also serve as a reference book for vehicle majors in higher education institutions.
